Update: After an outage lasting for around an hour, YouTube is now once again accessible in Pakistan. However, there has been no official comment by relevant authorities on the outage.

TeamYoutube, an official account that issues updates from YouTube, in a tweet, confirmed that it has received reports about YouTube not working in Pakistan.


 

YouTube mysteriously went down in Pakistan on Sunday evening as users took to social media websites to look for answers for the outage.

Users of multiple Internet Service Providers (ISPs) reported that they are unable to access the website. However, YouTube is accessible via the app.

It is pertinent to mention here that major websites like Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and YouTube can face global outages at times. However, there was no global outage of YouTube today and users were only facing the issue in Pakistan.

There was no official response on the situation from the Pakistan Telecommunication Authority (PTA), or any ISP regarding the situation till the filing of this report.

Within minutes of the reported outage, the hashtag YouTubeDOWN was among the trending topics on Twitter.

  • it was not mysterious at all, learn to say the truth. It was done to prevent the live stream of Imran Khan’s address.

  • Everything is going down in Pakistan (except for the cost of living and lawlessness). Why shouldn’t YouTube?
