Messaging App Status
Live status for the chat and calling apps you rely on every day.
When a messaging app goes quiet, it’s hard to tell whether the outage is on your side — messages simply stop arriving, calls fail silently, and there’s no error page to read. This page gathers our live status checks for the major chat and collaboration platforms. Every service below is probed from our servers every 15 minutes; open its dedicated page for an on-demand live check, uptime history, and practical steps to try while it’s down.
Discord is a voice, video, and text chat platform organized around servers. Its real-time nature makes outages obvious immediately — messages stop delivering, voice channels drop, and the app shows endless "connecting" spinners.
WhatsApp is Meta’s end-to-end encrypted messaging app used by over two billion people. During outages, messages sit on a single grey check mark and never reach the second one — the clearest signal that delivery is failing platform-wide.
Telegram is a cloud-based messenger with distributed data centers by region, so outages are often geographic: European users may be offline while other regions chat normally.
Slack is a workplace messaging platform, and because entire companies depend on it, even short incidents are disruptive. Slack publishes detailed component-level status — messaging, huddles, and file uploads can fail independently.
Zoom is a video conferencing service whose failures are felt instantly in meetings: participants can’t join, audio drops, or the classic error code 5003 appears when clients cannot reach Zoom’s servers.
Chat outages look like silence
Unlike a website that shows an error, a broken messaging service usually just stops. Messages hang on a single tick, presence indicators freeze, and voice calls connect but carry no audio. Because the apps cache old conversations, everything looks normal until you try to send. That ambiguity is exactly why an independent check matters: if our servers can reach the service while your messages won’t deliver, the problem is your connection or device, not the platform.
Work apps fail at the worst times
Slack, Zoom, and Discord outages cluster around peak usage — Monday mornings, product launches, big online events — because load is highest exactly when everyone needs them. If a work call is imminent and the service looks down for everyone, switch platforms early rather than waiting it out: a calendar invite moved to a backup tool costs less than fifteen minutes of “can you hear me now?”.
Frequently Asked Questions
Which messaging services do you monitor?
We run dedicated status pages for WhatsApp, Discord, Telegram, Slack, and Zoom. Each shows a live reachability check, response times, and a 24-hour history of scheduled checks so you can see exactly when problems started.
My messages aren’t delivering but the service shows as up. Why?
Delivery depends on more than the platform: your connection and the recipient’s both matter. If our check succeeds, the service’s servers are answering — so look local first. Toggle between Wi‑Fi and mobile data, force-close and reopen the app, and consider whether the recipient might be the one who’s offline.
Can I check whether video calls are affected too?
Our probe tests the service’s main endpoint, which usually reflects overall health. Calling infrastructure can fail independently of chat, though, so a service may be “up” while calls degrade. If calls fail but our check is green, test from a different network before blaming the platform.
