X.com, formerly known as Twitter, experienced brief outages again today, January 16. This incident sparked a wave of dissatisfaction among many users, especially in light of the unexpected nationwide Verizon outage earlier this week. Now the question is, why has the social network stopped working again?
Here’s what we know about the latest X outage.
The outage on January 16 was the second brief incident X faced in just one week. However, Twitter has experienced numerous outages over the past few years.
According to Downdetector, nearly 70,000 users reported issues with loading their feeds and messages on both computers and mobile devices.
At the time of publication, X appears to be recovering for an increasing number of users. Additionally, the number of reports on Downdetector decreased after 2 PM.
