X down: Social network back online after suffering major global disruption
Widespread outages have been reported by thousands of users across several countries, including the US, UK and India.
UPDATE: X is back online after an outage of around an hour. It is still unclear what caused the disruption.
Social media platform X, formerly known as Twitter, suffered outages globally on Monday. Widespread outages have been reported by thousands of users across several countries, including the US, UK and India.
According to Downdetector, the number of outage reports surged to over 25,000 around 13:00 GMT.
The cause of the outage was not immediately clear, and X did not respond to a request for comment.
The outage is the latest to hit internet services. X suffered a similar outage in March 2025, while a Cloudflare service outage caused access problems and downtime for various websites, including X, last November.
Microsoft's Azure had also faced an issue last year, while disruption at Amazon AWS caused global turmoil among thousands of websites and some of the most popular apps, such as Snapchat and Reddit in October.
