According to outage-tracking website Downdetector, the disruption began around 8:26 pm, with nearly 5,000 users reporting problems at the time of writing. The issues appear to be spread across both the app and the web version. Also Read: Elon Musk’s Grok To Stop Creating Undressed Images Of Real People On X

Second Outage In A Few Days
This outage comes just days after X faced a brief disruption on January 13, when users reported problems accessing the app, website, and servers. That incident was resolved within about 15 minutes. However, repeated outages in such a short span are starting to raise concerns around platform reliability.
As of now, X has not released any official statement explaining the cause of the outage or offering a timeline for full restoration. Some users also reported Cloudflare-related error messages while trying to access the site.
What You Can Do?
If X isn’t loading for you, switching networks, logging out and back in, or clearing cache may help, but if the issue is server-side, waiting is often the only real fix.
Repeated outages are pushing users to explore alternatives like Threads, Bluesky, and Mastodon. While none fully replace X yet, they offer cleaner feeds, fewer disruptions, and growing communities, making them worth checking out when X goes silent. It is always wise to keep the alternatives ready in case of an emergency.
