About WhatsApp Status Monitoring
This page provides real-time status monitoring for WhatsApp. DownSignal checks WhatsApp's availability every 30 seconds by sending HTTP requests to their servers and measuring response times. If WhatsApp responds within normal parameters, we report it as Operational. If response times exceed 3 seconds, it's marked as Degraded. If the request fails entirely or times out, the service is reported as Down.
