Thanks for clarification. I have used Whatsapp and it worked great until 08:30 PT when it suddenly stopped working.

When you say "natively integrated" what do you mean? As far as I can tell there are no APIs for either Whatsapp or Facebook Messenger.

Ah, it's possible that there's some issue with the WA integration. I'll check. In the mean time, SMS and FB Messenger should be active for sure!

I'm using thirdparty open source libraries to integrate FB and Whatsapp into this.

It appears that Whatsapp may have (temporarily?) blocked access to their service.

User interactions have really spiked as we speak. Try shifting to FB Messenger (if abroad or not wanting to use SMS) or SMS in the meanwhile!
