Facebook's WhatsApp is back online in Brazil after the service was temporarily banned Monday, following a judge's ruling.
Service was restored Tuesday afternoon after another judge in an appeals court reversed the ban, The Wall Street Journalreported. WhatsApp was offline for about 24 hours.

When you send an end-to-end encrypted message, no one else can read it – not even us. While we are working to get WhatsApp back up and running as soon as possible, we have no intention of compromising the security of our billion users around the world.
WhatsApp had previously faced legal challenges in Brazil. The service was blocked for less than a day last December, following a similar court case, before service was restored by another judge.
Even though the latest ban lasted just about a day, millions of Brazilian WhatsApp users apparently flocked to rival service Telegram while it was blocked. Telegram reported technical problems Monday because of the sudden influx of new users.
Sorry, Brazil! Your mobile networks can't process as many verification SMS as we're sending them. Over a million users joined, more waiting
