X is down for some – here’s everything we know about the outage

Considering many of the posts appearing in our timelines are from over an hour ago, or in some cases longer, it does appear that X is playing catch-up and is in recovery mode.

On desktop here in the United States, X appears back for me, with the timeline loading and trending topics on the side, showing fairly recent posts. The first post is less than an hour old, but it’s a bit slow to access different aspects of the site.

I’ve heard from colleagues in the US and the UK that it’s a bit slow, but it is loading and getting closer to normal usage levels.

On mobile – specifically the X app for iOS – in the UK, my colleague, TechRadar’s Mark Wilson, is seeing a timeline with ‘Posts aren’t loading right now’ at the top with a selection of older posts appearing underneath.

In the US, I’m not seeing the error up top, but the timeline below is not updated with recent posts; all are dated several hours ago.

Down Detector reports show a slight recovery, and then a spike of outages

Down Detector reports show it’s likely the case for many: X went down, causing the initial spike, slightly recovered, and then hit problems again. As of the last update at 10:42 AM ET, there are over 53,000 reports of issues with using X.

Interestingly, my colleague Lance Ulanoff was able to post, but it took a while to appear on his profile.

While X was down for me initially, it came back, and then went away again. And it seems that’s the case as of now for many of my TechRadar colleagues in both the US and the UK – they still can’t get X to load as a whole, with the timeline not loading, and trending terms on the side.
