X experiences major global outage, users worldwide unable to access platform

The social media platform X experienced a significant outage early Monday, leaving users unable to access its services via both the app and website.

At the time of reporting, the company has not confirmed the cause of the disruption, nor provided an estimated timeline for restoring normal service.

Data from outage monitoring service Downdetector showed a sharp spike in complaints, indicating that the outage affected users across multiple countries, including Canada, Australia, France, Indonesia, Ghana, Nigeria, and Germany. Both desktop and mobile platforms were impacted, preventing users from refreshing timelines, posting updates, or accessing other core features.

Social media users reported frustration as attempts to log in or refresh feeds repeatedly failed, highlighting the widespread nature of the service disruption.

Monday’s outage marks the latest in a series of technical challenges for the platform. Last month, X also experienced a major outage affecting thousands of users, which lasted nearly an entire day before services were restored.

In November 2025, X, in partnership with internet infrastructure firm Cloudflare, suffered another significant outage that disrupted services across multiple countries, including the United States, India, and Nigeria.

As of now, X has not released an official statement explaining the cause of Monday’s outage or the measures being taken to resolve it. Analysts say repeated disruptions could affect user confidence and engagement, especially given the platform’s global reach and reliance for real-time communication.

This latest incident raises questions about the platform’s technical resilience and the stability of its infrastructure, particularly as it continues to expand its services globally.
