Social media platform X Known as Twitter down for users globally - Downdetector

Downdetector.com has recently reported global outages affecting two prominent social media platforms, X and X Pro, causing a stir among their vast user base. Users of X, a platform once known as Twitter, encountered unexpected difficulties in accessing their usual content. Instead of their regular feeds, a message reading “Welcome to X!” was displayed, indicating a disruption in the service. This unexpected greeting left many users puzzled and unable to engage with the platform as usual. Similarly, X Pro, which was previously recognized as TweetDeck, experienced its own set of challenges. Users reported issues with content loading, often meeting a screen that stated, “Waiting for posts.” This issue significantly hampered the user experience on X Pro, a tool popular for its advanced social media management features. Data from Downdetector revealed that these issues were not isolated incidents. Over 47,000 users in the United States reported difficulties accessing both X and X Pro, underscoring the widespread nature of the problem. Furthermore, Downdetector noted a substantial spike in user complaints within the last 24 hours. This increase is significant as Downdetector’s reporting mechanism is triggered when the number of problem reports exceeds the typical frequency for that time of day. These outages on X and X Pro highlight the fragility of digital platforms and the impact such disruptions can have on their large user communities. Stay tuned as we continue to monitor the situation and provide updates on these developments.
