X, formerly recognised as Twitter, experienced a significant global outage on Tuesday, disrupting access for a large number of users across multiple regions. Reports on outage-tracking platform Downdetector indicated that the problem affected both the website and the mobile apps on Android and iOS, preventing users from loading timelines or accessing their accounts. The disruption appeared to spread rapidly, triggering complaints from several countries and generating widespread concern about the platform’s stability. Users were unable to refresh feeds, view new posts, or maintain basic connectivity, prompting many to seek updates on alternative platforms as the issue intensified.
By around 5:20 pm, Downdetector had received more than 10,000 complaints from users who were unable to access X in any form. The platform’s data showed that a majority of the issues—about 61 percent—were linked to the mobile application, making it the most severely affected interface. Website-related difficulties accounted for approximately 28 percent of the reports, while 11 percent involved server connection failures. The scale and distribution of the disruption suggested that the outage was not limited to one region but extended globally, pointing to a possible system-level malfunction.
