The WhatsApp application is down affecting millions of users globally.

However, this should not make you feel as if the world has come to an end.

Users can still send messages using the following Apps.

Slack channel

Slack organises conversations into dedicated spaces called channels. Channels bring order and clarity to work — you can create them for any project, topic, or team.

Teams can share ideas, make decisions, and move work forward.

Telegram

This is an open-source messaging app that is an alternative to WhatsApp. Along with the usual messaging features that both WhatsApp and Telegram pack, the latter brings other features like super groups of up to 100,000 people.
