Is X down right now? Major Twitter outage leaves users with blank screen
Elon Musk’s X restricts Grok photo editing amid concerns about sexualised images
X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, suffered a significant global outage, leaving users worldwide unable to access the social media service.
Instead of their usual feeds, visitors to both the website and mobile applications were met with a blank screen.
It appears to be a more severe issue than previous disruptions where the site would load but display no posts.
Reports of problems surged around 3pm BST (10am Eastern Time), according to tracking website Down Detector, which showed a huge spike in user complaints.
The disruption appeared to be widespread, affecting users across the globe and impacting all methods of accessing the platform, from desktop browsers to mobile apps.
