WhatsApp and Instagram are apparently facing outages and many users are unable to use the platforms.
WhatsApp and Instagram, popular apps owned by parent company Facebook are experiencing outages in many regions and seem to not be working on either Web or their respective smartphone apps. A number of people have reported that the instant messaging platform and the social media applications are not working for them on Android, iOS and web platforms.

DownDetector reports a quick spike in the number of cases of WhatsApp not working for people across regions on October 4. Users are unable to send or receive new messages. Similar behaviour is observable on Instagram, where users are unable to log in, refresh their feed or send direct messages (DMs). The issue has seemingly affected people late in the evening, with outage starting at roughly 9:15 pm IST.
The servers continue to remain down at the time of writing this article and Facebook, WhatsApp and Instagram are currently inaccessible. Users are requested to use alternate methods of messaging like Signal and Telegram until the apps start working again.

This is not the first time apps like WhatsApp have crashed. A similar outage was observed back in March 2021

I thought as much. All my sent WhatsApp messages are yet to be delivered

Exactly what I'm experiencing right now

I thought you were about to tell us the reason why they are not working... No reason found in your write up

I ran into a problem on instagram, namely I forgot my account password. And as always, I could not get in touch with Instagram support. But this article helped me with this - Instagram issues. Everything is very clearly written in the article, and I also want to note that everything is shown on the screenshots of how and what to do. I quickly contacted support to resolve my issue.
