Thousands of users reported issues accessing X (formerly Twitter) on Friday evening, with outage tracking platform Downdetector showing a sharp spike in complaints over the past few minutes.
According to the outage tracker, reports surged well above normal levels, indicating that many users may be experiencing problems with the platform. Users have reported issues including timelines not loading, posts failing to refresh, login difficulties and intermittent access to the app and website.
The exact cause of the disruption has not yet been confirmed, and X has not issued an official statement on the reported outage at the time of writing.
Downdetector tracks service disruptions based on user-submitted reports, meaning a spike in complaints does not always confirm a platform-wide outage but often indicates widespread issues affecting users across multiple regions.
Users are advised to wait for an official update from X and retry accessing the service after some time if they continue to experience problems.
