With over 2 billion users worldwide, WhatsApp is already one of the largest instant messaging apps in the world, and is soon expected to hit the 3 billion mark.
Earlier today, UPI services were restored for most users following a widespread outage that disrupted digital transactions across India. The outage impacted millions, affecting everything from local purchases and bill payments to major business dealings.
The National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI), which runs the UPI system, confirmed the issue on social media, citing “intermittent technical issues” as the cause.
