Some people have confirmed using virtual private networks (VPNs) to share media, voice notes, and play video status without any disruption. However, VPNs have slowed down the speed of other services.

Meanwhile, very few users have recently confirmed the smooth working of the app, and they haven’t faced challenges in performing any tasks so far.

Additionally, there is no clarification or any statement has been issued by the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA) regarding this outage for consecutively two days.
