X down: Netizens report outage
Disruptions appeared almost simultaneously across various regions. Several users reported being unable to refresh their feeds on both the app and website, while others faced challenges logging in.
"Nothing is loading," one user reported on Downdetector. Another stated, "No access in London, why?"
