A significant disruption occurred on Wednesday when the X social media platform experienced a widespread outage affecting users around the world.

According to data collected by Downdetector, a service that monitors website and app outages based on user reports, tens of thousands of users were impacted.

X outage hits users worldwide

At the peak of the disruption around 14:00 GMT, approximately 14,000 reports of issues were registered. These reports revealed that about 52% of users encountered problems connecting to the X app, while 42% experienced difficulties accessing the website. Additionally, 6% of reports were related to server connection issues.

The outage was international in scope, with no indication that the disruption was caused by localized internet restrictions or country-specific filtering measures. This suggests a technical failure within the platform's own infrastructure rather than external interference.
