    ‘25 baar change kia’: Imran Ashraf reveals what he did during social media outage

    Imran Ahsraf has revealed what he was doing after WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram services were down for more than six hours.

    WhatsApp said in a statement that it was aware that some users were having problems using the app, saying: “We’re aware that some people are experiencing issues with WhatsApp at the moment. We’re working to get things back to normal and will send an update here as soon as possible.”

    The Ranjha Ranjha Kardi star reacted to this and shared in a tweet that what he did during that phase, “I have switched 25 Wi-Fi passwords in an hour”.

    It should be noted that the services were out for over six hours and shares of Facebook fell almost five percent in the US stock market after being affected by Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp services worldwide.
