Is Twitter down? Users report widespread issues with X sites

According to the Down Detector, there have been over 1,000 reports registered in the last 10 minutes.

Users have become quick to other social media platforms to complain about the suspension.

One user said “Twitter is down again.”

Another replied: “I was wondering why everything was complaining.”

What is a down detector?

DownDetector is an online website where users of popular services, such as X (Twitter), Instagram, Facebook, Virgin Media, can report whether they have issues with the service.

This site only reports if the number of problem reports is significantly higher than the typical volume for that time.

Down detectors describe themselves on their website. “The place people go when services don't work.”

This website monitors the disruption of a variety of key services, including the Internet, web hosting platforms, banks, and social media.

You can see the complete methodology and learn more about how down detectors gather status information and detect problems through their website.

In short, users can be involved by submitting problem reports on the platform.

Problem metrics are also collected from other factors on social media and on the web, the downdetector explained.

I recommend reading:

These reports are validated and analyzed in real time.

An incident is then detected if the number of reports is significantly higher than the average typical for that particular service.

When users investigate an issue, they can see what the currently reported issue is and see if there is an area in one of the stop hotspots.
