Outage detection website DownDetector confirms that WhatsApp is not working for thousands of users.
Affected regions based on the website’s heat-map include major cities like Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata and Lucknow, but we fear the outage is affecting users everywhere.
We're aware that some people are currently having trouble sending messages and we're working to restore WhatsApp for everyone as quickly as possible," Meta Company Spokesperson@WhatsApp

WhatsApp Web also appears to be affected by the outage, and we can confirm that app’s web client is simply not connecting anymore. (with Agecny inputs)
