X is down worldwide, issues with web and app opening

The microblogging platform X, formerly known as Twitter, is experiencing significant outages affecting users globally, with reports indicating issues with logging in and loading feeds.

The microblogging platform X, previously known as Twitter, has suddenly gone down today, impacting millions of users around the world who are experiencing difficulties logging into both the app and website. Various reports from users in different countries are flooding social media, indicating a widespread outage. Websites such as Downdetector are showing spikes in real-time user reports, confirming that this is not merely an isolated issue but one affecting a substantial number of users globally.

Users have reported seeing blank screens or error messages on both the website and mobile app, while others are unable to load their timelines, suggesting a critical failure that extends beyond just a few regions. Downdetector's outage tracking data shows a significant upward trend, highlighting that many users are encountering service disruptions within a short span of time. This kind of widespread outage indicates that the problem is not limited to India and points to a serious technical issue within the platform itself.

Despite these difficulties, X has not yet provided any official statements regarding the cause of the service disruption or how long it may take to resolve the issues. This is not the first instance this year that users have faced such problems with X, as previously, the platform encountered unplanned outages, raising concerns about its reliability in maintaining consistent service for its vast user base.
