As of March 10, 2025, X (formerly known as Twitter) is experiencing a major global outage, preventing users from accessing the platform on both desktop and mobile devices. Reports indicate that users in the United States, United Kingdom, Spain, and India are facing issues such as failed logins, slow page loads, and an inability to refresh feeds. While some users report partial functionality on mobile, the desktop version appears to be completely inaccessible for many.
According to Downdetector, a service that tracks real-time outages, more than 21,000 reports have been recorded in the U.S., while over 10,800 users in the UK have also reported issues. The outage began affecting users in Spain around 11:00 AM local time, and in India, complaints started appearing at approximately 3:30 PM IST. The issue seems to be widespread, with reports of long refresh times, failed API requests, and broken notifications.
At this time, X has not released an official statement regarding the cause of the outage. However, possible reasons could include server failures, DNS misconfigurations, cyberattacks (such as a DDoS attack), or an internal system update gone wrong. In previous instances, outages of this scale have been linked to cloud service failures, misconfigured settings, or security incidents, though there is no confirmation yet regarding the specific cause in this case.
Users who rely on the platform for communication and business have turned to alternative social media networks such as Reddit, Mastodon, and Bluesky to share updates and discuss the situation. Many are also monitoring Downdetector and tech news sites for real-time updates. Despite widespread reports, X has yet to provide an estimated time for resolution, and Elon Musk or the X support team have not addressed the issue publicly.

For those affected, the best course of action is to stay updated through other news sources, check outage trackers, and use alternative communication platforms such as Telegram, WhatsApp, and Discord. Until an official update is provided, the situation remains unresolved, and users are advised to stay tuned for further developments.
This article will be updated as soon as more information becomes available, including an official response from X or indications of service restoration.
