Before yesterday's #WhatsappOutage, I had a notification (since many days) for accepting the new privacy policy of WhatsApp. I had not tapped on it to accept it.

After the outage, I can not see the notification. Is anyone else also experiencing anything similar.
I am enjoying the disconnect. #whatsappoutage

WhatsApp msgs weren't delivering.
Checked insta and it wasn't loading.
Restarted my phone too.
Twitter to the rescue finally ! 😅#whatsapp#whatsappoutage
Instagram & WhatsApp are down. Is everybody feeling like their life has come to a standstill or is it just me? 😂
