WhatsApp went down and everyone all over the world is freaking out

People all over the world were unable to send messages to their friends.

The service went down across Europe, the US, Brazil and Mexico. Users were faced with the ‘timer of doom’ when they attempt to send a message – and at the top of the app it continuously said ‘connecting’.

This person needs help breathing…
