WhatsApp Status Not Working Today? You're Not Alone – Here's Why (19th May 2025)

For WhatsApp users located across India in addition to possibly some other regions, a strange glitch has been reported on 19th May in 2025. "Something went wrong" appears so statuses are not displayed as they should. Both Android users along with iPhone users seem to be affected through this issue.

* Users are greeted by either a blank screen or an error when viewing status.

Some users have issues. They are not able to even post their very own statuses.

Status views that had been visible and those recipients are sometimes missing now. Other times, they are shown with inaccuracy.

* Statuses once visible now show either 0 views or a missing "Seen by" list altogether.

* Status section search results intended for specific recipients are not properly working too.

Though WhatsApp has not acknowledged this issue, several of the possible reasons could be considered.

* The backend server had detected a glitch at the time of WhatsApp's daily sync/update cycle.

The Status feature has either a temporary outage or else an API issue. That is why it is affected by that.

* Particularly app version issues, if update was recent.

* Unintended functionality disruption came from WhatsApp's server-side tests of new features.
