Users on the microblogging platform X, previously known as Twitter, have raised concerns, and Downdetector.com, a service tracking website outages, has received similar reports about issues with both X's website and app.

What's Going On?

As of now, the X website and app seem to be working fine for general content like posts and videos. However, users are encountering a problem when trying to open links posted on the platform – they receive an error message saying "This page is down."

User Reports

Approximately 52 per cent of users are facing problems with the X website, and about 29% are reporting issues on the mobile app. This issue persisted for around half an hour, starting at 12:03 am and concluding at 12:33 am.

TOI conducted a check on X and found that links were opening smoothly on the website. Interestingly, the same links presented errors on both X's Android and iOS apps.

Official Response from X

As of now, X hasn't officially acknowledged the reported problems or provided any details about the outage.

Current Status

Although the cause of the outage remains unknown, the X website has returned to normal functionality. There is an expectation that the app issues will also be resolved shortly.
