On Sunday, March 30, 2025, X (formerly known as Twitter) suffered a widespread outage, preventing users from accessing their feeds, posting updates, or engaging with content. The issue, which started around early afternoon, quickly spread, with thousands of reports flooding in from across the world.

According to Downdetector, over 7,100 complaints were registered, with approximately 39% of users reporting problems with the mobile app, while others faced issues with the website.

Nature of the Outage

Users attempting to access X encountered error messages, inability to refresh their feeds, and delays in loading profiles. The disruption affected both desktop and mobile platforms, making it impossible for users to tweet, retweet, or even check their notifications.

Some users reported partial functionality returning after about an hour, but the platform remained unstable for several hours before full restoration.

Previous Outages and Potential Causes

This outage comes amid a series of technical issues that have plagued X in recent months:

  • March 27, 2025 – Both X and Reddit went down simultaneously, leading to speculation of coordinated cyberattacks.

  • Early March 2025 – X faced intermittent outages, later linked to a cyberattack targeting its servers.

  • Late 2024 – Several server disruptions followed major changes made to the platform’s backend systems.

As of now, X has not officially disclosed the reason behind the latest outage. However, given the platform’s recent history of cyber threats and technical difficulties, experts suspect either a cyberattack or an internal system failure.

User Reactions and Impact

Social media users, accustomed to quick and seamless interaction, took to alternative platforms like Threads, Instagram, and TikTok to express their frustration. Many speculated whether this was another hacking attempt, while others criticized X’s handling of technical disruptions.

Businesses, news agencies, and influencers who rely on X for real-time communication were also significantly affected. With millions of active users, even a short-lived outage can lead to financial losses for advertisers and disrupt global conversations.

Company Response and Next Steps

Despite the platform’s restoration, X has yet to issue an official statement explaining the outage. Users are advised to monitor official channels for updates and report ongoing issues to Downdetector or X’s support team.

With frequent disruptions occurring in recent months, concerns over X’s stability and security are growing. If this trend continues, the platform may need to invest in stronger infrastructure and cybersecurity measures to prevent future breakdowns.

For now, users can breathe a sigh of relief as X is back online, but questions remain—will this be the last major outage, or is it a sign of deeper technical issues within the platform?
