It is still unclear how many users are affected by this issue and what is the cause of the current issue.
The company has not yet released any official statement nor given any information about the reasons behind this issue. The report also mentions that if one’s online presence is hidden on the platform, then the current configuration is secure and no one can see when they are online. In October last year, the messaging platform faced a global outage, including in India, that lasted for over two hours. According to outage monitor website DownDetector, more than 85 percent of people reported issues during messaging, 11 percent when using an app, and 3 percent when using a website. According to a report, people using Apple iPhone are unable to change the ‘Who can see when I am online’ privacy setting.
