On Monday, the social network X (formerly known as Twitter) experienced a massive service outage affecting thousands of users globally, who are reporting severe issues accessing the platform, updating their timelines, and posting content. According to information obtained by Noticias Argentinas from the Downdetector portal, complaints about the app's malfunction began to escalate rapidly during the morning, peaking at 1,391 simultaneous reports in its chart for the last 24 hours. What are the most reported problems? According to the outage map and statistics compiled by the monitoring site, the technical issues faced by users on both the desktop web version and the mobile app (iOS and Android) are divided into three main axes:
Feed Failures (45%): This is the main problem. Users enter the app, but the timeline does not update with new messages, showing old posts or throwing a loading error. Server Connection (41%): A high percentage directly fails to establish a connection with the platform, experiencing unexpected logouts or error screens when trying to log in. Posting Issues (14%): Those who manage to bypass connection errors find themselves unable to interact: the social network does not allow posting new messages, replying to threads, or quoting other users.
As is customary in these cases, unable to use the social network owned by billionaire Elon Musk to report the same outage, users tend to turn to alternative platforms to confirm if the problem is widespread or an issue with their own internet connections. So far, the company has not issued an official statement detailing the origin of the server malfunction.
