Many X users faced a significant issue Thursday night as their timelines ceased updating, affecting both mobile and web platforms. Reports indicated this was due to a server-side bug, leaving users in the dark regarding new posts. Despite attempts to remedy the situation, such as uninstalling apps or signing up for X Premium, users remained affected. A spike in outage reports on Downdetector and discussions on Reddit highlighted the widespread nature of the problem, which echoes previous connectivity issues X experienced, particularly after Elon Musk's acquisition and workforce reductions.
No notifications since about 10 p.m. last night here in Germany! wrote one user in a thread on X's unofficial subreddit. Another user in the same thread wrote, I thought that uninstalling and reinstalling the app would work (it didn't).
It appears to be a server-side bug. Users affected say that their timelines aren't updating in the X mobile apps or on the web.
Musk, without evidence, blamed the disruption on a cyberattack. Prior to that outage, X experienced large-scale connectivity issues in December 2022 and July 2023.
X didn't immediately respond to a request for comment. Many users report that their notifications stopped working yesterday, meaning they aren't being alerted to new posts.
