Users across several regions reported problems accessing X, formerly known as Twitter, over the past 24 hours, with outage-tracking website Downdetector showing a sharp spike in complaints.
According to Downdetector data, a majority of users facing issues pointed to server-related problems. About 56% of reports cited server connection failures, suggesting difficulties in reaching the platform's core services. Another 26% of users said the X app was not functioning properly, while 18% reported trouble logging into their accounts.
Downdetector said the volume of reports was significantly higher than the typical level seen at similar times of day, triggering its outage alert. The platform tracks service disruptions by collecting user-submitted reports and comparing them with historical patterns. It only flags an incident when complaints exceed normal levels, indicating a likely technical problem rather than isolated user issues.
X is a microblogging platform that allows users to post short text messages, images and videos, commonly referred to as posts or tweets. The service is accessed across multiple devices and platforms, including iPhone, Android and desktop computers. Even brief outages can have an outsized impact, as the platform is widely used for real-time news updates, public communication and customer service.
X has not issued an immediate statement explaining the cause of the disruption or providing a timeline for full restoration of services. Such outages can be caused by a range of factors, including server failures, software updates or network issues.
Downdetector also offers users the option to report specific problems they are experiencing, helping build a clearer picture of the scope and nature of an outage. The site encourages users to select whether they are facing server, app or login issues to provide more accurate feedback.
Users are advised to monitor official X channels and outage-tracking services for updates as engineers work to resolve the problem.
