X Hit by Major Global Outage, Users Locked Out Worldwide

Social media platform X has suffered a major global outage, leaving thousands of users unable to access the service through both its mobile app and website.

The platform stopped loading on Monday, 16, with users reporting blank screens and failed refresh attempts.

Those who attempted to access the website were met only with the company’s “X” logo instead of their usual timelines and posts.

Reports indicate the disruption began in the late hours of Monday, affecting users across multiple regions simultaneously.

Both the app and desktop versions appeared to be impacted, suggesting a broader system-wide issue rather than a localized technical glitch.

Users attempting to log in encountered error messages, while others were unable to load feeds or publish new posts.

Global Impact Confirmed

According to outage tracking platform Downdetector, reports of problems surged rapidly as the disruption unfolded.

Complaints were logged from users in North America, Europe, Asia, and parts of Africa, indicating the issue was global in scale.

The spike in reports suggests the outage was not isolated to a specific country or region.

No Official Statement Yet

As of the time of publication, the company has not issued an official statement explaining the cause of the outage or providing a timeline for restoration.

Unlike many major technology firms, X does not operate a dedicated public status page to update users during service disruptions.

In the past, updates have often been shared directly on the platform by company officials or its owner, Elon Musk but those communication channels were also inaccessible during the outage.

Growing Concerns Over Stability

The latest disruption adds to a series of technical issues the platform has experienced in recent months.

While previous outages were eventually resolved, recurring downtime has raised concerns among users and businesses that rely on the platform for communication and real-time updates.

It remains unclear what triggered the outage or when full service will be restored.

Users are advised to monitor official company channels and independent outage trackers for updates.
