Service Restoration & Unclear Causes
The outage in India began around 3:20 p.m. IST, quickly escalating to over 19,000 global reports. However, by 3:45 p.m., service was restored, allowing users to regain access to the platform.
Despite the widespread disruptions, X has not issued an official statement explaining the cause of the outages. The simultaneous failures across multiple countries remain unexplained, leaving users uncertain about the platform’s stability.
