Why X Is Down Worldwide: Here’s What We Know About the Major Outage

Thousands of users around the world are reporting problems accessing X, as the platform appears to be experiencing a widespread outage. Many users say the app and website are showing error messages or failing to load entirely.

The disruption began at approximately 8:02 a.m. ET (1:02 p.m. GMT), when reports of issues suddenly surged on Downdetector, a platform that tracks real-time service outages.

According to Downdetector data, more than 11,000 users in the United States and over 3,300 users in the United Kingdom reported problems within a short period, indicating that the issue is not limited to a single region.

Users across multiple countries have complained about feeds not refreshing, posts failing to load, and error notifications appearing while trying to log in or interact with content.

So far, X has not released an official statement explaining the cause of the outage or providing a timeline for when services will be fully restored. As a result, the exact reason behind the disruption remains unclear.

This is a developing situation, and further updates are expected once the company addresses the issue or service stability improves.
