If you’re trying to get on X and not having success, you’re not alone.
According to downdetector, a website that keeps track of apps and websites when they’re down, the social media site formerly known as Twitter went down just after 10 a.m.
Users are unable to sign into the app, according to many users. Visitors received a “connection timed out” message as they awaited the page to load.
According to downdetector, the issues are with both the app and the website. The outage started shortly before 10 a.m. and was still not working at 10:23 a.m.
