Overview
- User reports on Downdetector spiked between roughly 9:10 a.m. and 9:40 a.m. ET, with service largely back by about 10:20 a.m. ET.
- Peak reports ranged from about 28,000 to 35,000 globally, with notable hotspots in the United States, United Kingdom, India and Canada.
- The app and website failed to load for many users, timelines stalled, posting and DMs faltered, and error messages such as “Something went wrong” appeared.
- X did not issue an immediate explanation for the outage, and third‑party trackers showed reports declining as feeds and posting resumed.
- The episode follows prior disruptions tied to internet infrastructure incidents in late 2025, as Ofcom investigates X over Grok‑related deepfakes under the UK’s Online Safety Act.
