How it works

We watch 111 services. 70 publish an official status that we read automatically. The other 41, like WhatsApp, Portuguese banks or telecom operators, do not: there our tests and user reports matter most. Tap each box to see what it does.

Verdict
We combine the three signals. The most serious one wins, with care: a single location down in a network of hundreds does not mark the whole service as down, and a problem outside Europe shows as a notice.

What our tests prove, and what they do not

A successful test proves the service's server is up and answering from Europe. It does not prove everything works inside: WhatsApp may answer while messages are delayed. That is why we always combine the official status and user reports, and always say where each piece of information comes from.

About the AI explanation

Explanations are written by an AI model from the official text each company publishes. We ask it not to invent and to say when something is not yet known. Even so, it can be wrong: the original text is always shown alongside, with a link to the source.
