Social media apps and data download services resume in Pakistan after days of slow internet

After several days of widespread internet problems across the country, the situation is finally improving as social media apps are working again and data downloads have also resumed.

This restoration has brought relief to millions of internet users, especially those engaged in digital commerce. The situation is being closely monitored and further improvements are expected in the coming days.

For several days, Internet users across the country faced significant disruptions, particularly on social media platforms such as Twitter (now X).

WhatsApp users also had problems and were unable to download voice messages, images and videos.

Slow internet speeds caused significant inconvenience to millions of people who rely on online business.

The Internet Service Providers Association (ISPA) warned in a statement that the digital economy could suffer significant losses if the internet situation does not improve. It also warned that international companies may consider shifting their operations from Pakistan to other countries due to unreliable internet infrastructure.

However, recent developments have resulted in social media apps working again after several days of disruption and data downloads resuming.

Users report that documents, images and voice notes are now downloading successfully after days of interruptions.
