The reports continue to spike
Our hopes that this might be a short, sharp blip appear to be fading – reports of problems on X continue to grow, with the number now at a massive 41,000 in the US. It’s down for thousands in the UK too, during the critical lunch hour doomscroll period.
During the site’s last big outage in November 2025, Cloudflare issues were the culprit. However, that doesn’t seem to be case so far this time, with some outage spikes on Downdetector for both Cloudflare and AWS very minor. The picture should hopefully become clearer soon.
A quiet day on X
If you’re seeing the message above for X on desktop or in the mobile app, you’re not alone.
The social media site appears to be experiencing a big Monday outage, with the reports of issues in the US now at over 40,000 on Downdetector.
That’s the kind of number we haven’t seen since its last big outage in November 2025. Let’s hope for the sake of memes and hot-takes that this one doesn’t last as long…
That’s a big spike
It seems most people (including us) are struggling to get X to load right now – there’s currently over 23,000 reports on Downdetector (above) in the US, and over 6,400 in the UK.
The outage is affecting both the app and website, with neither working for us. We’re getting a “something went wrong” message, with no posts loading.
