Whatsapp Down? This Is The Cause
WhatsApp went down on Tuesday (October 25, 2022), therefore users were unable to send messages, calls, or media files. This incident did not only occur in Indonesia, but also in many countries around the world. Whatsapp was down not for a short period of time but for quite a long time. The reason is, the instant messenger application was down for about two hours. Until now Meta has not explained what the cause is, so what might be the main factors for whatsapp down?
Meta, which is WhatsApp's parent company, has not explained why WhatsApp was down yesterday. During the disruption, Meta only said that it was working to restore WhatsApp as soon as possible, without revealing the cause of whatsapp down.
When WhatsApp services were restored, Meta announced the news and apologized to users. However, the company formerly known as Facebook did not explain why WhatsApp was down.
However, there are several possibilities that could explain yesterday's WhatsApp outage. The possible causes of whatsapp experiencing interference are as follows:
Network Disruption
All data contained on the WhatsApp platform such as private messages, photos and videos as well as contacts, are stored on WhatsApp's servers. Because WhatsApp is a large massanger platform, the company certainly uses many servers to store data. For example, photos and contacts on server A and other data on server B. Although data is stored on many different servers, this practice does not affect the user experience. This is because all servers are connected through the network. However, when the network is disrupted or even disconnected, communication between servers is also interrupted and interrupted. In this way, applications that depend on the network are also disrupted to the point of crashing. The only way to fix this is to fix the network so that the application can function properly again.
Human Error
A number of servers are run by human-managed software. They consist of IT professionals or in this case called "Server Managers" who are tasked with ensuring all facilities are running properly at all times. In practice, they monitor the server around the clock to anticipate disruptions. But there are also times when they miss (human error), get distracted and cause downtime on the server. A server can also be unstable when a software installation is being carried out.
Occurrence of Hardware Damage
Servers are mainframe computers that are designed to work 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, and 365 days a year. In other words, the server must work around the clock. This is because the server plays a role in supporting data that users access remotely. Therefore, the server will never be closed, except in emergencies that require closure. But just like any technical equipment, the server and the components in it may wear out at some point. When this problem occurs, the server will crash. The storage media in the server also crashes. To this end, each server has a storage backup that is used to recover data in the event of a primary storage outage.
