Users wonder why WhatsApp posted on X

Users are pointing out the irony of WhatsApp informing the public of an outage on X, formerly Twitter.

WhatsApp is a part of Meta, which is a direct competitor of X.

“X is where you inform your members [laughing emojis],” one responded to the post. WhatsApp has to announce the news from X seriously Proud to use X,” another added.

“Oh the irony,” a reply read.
