Users of the Elon Musk-owned social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, encountered difficulties accessing the site, indicating a technical snag. According to reports from Downdetector, a platform that monitors online outages and issues, users reported being unable to access X.
Downdetector collects status reports from various sources, including user feedback, and the widespread reports of access issues raised concerns about the reliability of the newly rebranded social media platform.
This incident comes in the wake of recent outages experienced by platforms under Meta’s ownership. Earlier this month, both WhatsApp and Instagram, also owned by Meta, suffered a brief outage lasting approximately an hour. Additionally, in March, users faced a major outage affecting Facebook, Instagram, Messenger, and Threads, rendering these platforms inaccessible for nearly two hours.
The technical difficulties faced by X highlight the challenges that social media platforms can encounter, especially during periods of high user activity. As users continue to rely on these platforms for communication and networking, interruptions like these serve as reminders of the importance of robust infrastructure and rapid response to technical issues.
Users across X are hopeful for a swift resolution to the problem, eager to return to normal functionality on the platform. As Downdetector continues to monitor the situation, updates on the status of X will be awaited by users and observers alike.
