X Yet To Reveal Cause Behind Repeated Outages
With X being the primary platform where users typically report disruptions on other social media services, many found themselves unable to voice their concerns about the ongoing outage.
This is the second major outage of the day, with an earlier disruption reported at 3:20 PM IST, affecting over 19,000 users globally. The repeated service failures have led to frustration among users, especially in the absence of any official statement from the company regarding the cause of the interruptions. While some regions have seen a partial restoration of services, many users continue to experience accessibility issues.
As of now, X has not acknowledged the outage, nor has it responded to queries seeking clarification. According to Downdetector, the number of outage reports surged past 40,000 in the United States, while more than 10,800 users in the United Kingdom also reported issues earlier in the day.
More details about the global outage are awaited.
