X restored in India after being down for thousands of users

X, formerly Twitter, resumes service in India after a major technical outage prevented thousands from accessing feeds and links. Cause remains unconfirmed.

"something went wrong, try again - X error message to users"

New Delhi, March 18

Social media platform X, formerly Twitter, has resumed services in India after experiencing a widespread technical outage that left thousands of users unable to access feeds and shared links.

According to Downdetector, the outage initially affected over 4,500 users across India as of 8:30 PM IST. Users reported that while alerts from X were still being received, feeds were not refreshing, preventing access to the latest posts and interactions. Some users received the message, "something went wrong, try again," when attempting to refresh.

Users took to alternative platforms to flag the disruption, reporting that the feeds were not loading despite notifications continuing to arrive.

The reason for the disruption has not yet been officially confirmed by the platform. An outage was also reported simultaneously in the United States of America.

Similar issues were faced by users on February 16, when the Elon Musk-owned platform experienced a sudden outage, with users across India and other countries reporting difficulties accessing X.

According to data from Downdetector, approximately 3,357 users in India reported issues during that outage, with 46 per cent experiencing website issues and 45 per cent reporting application issues.

I thought it was just my Jio network acting up again. Good to know it was a global issue. The timing was bad - missed out on some important political discussion threads.

This is the second time in a month. For a platform that calls itself the "town square," it's surprisingly fragile. Maybe we should all spend less time online anyway. Back to reading the newspaper!

Working from Hyderabad, and this outage disrupted my team's coordination. We use X threads for quick project updates. Had to switch to WhatsApp, which isn't as efficient for broadcast info. Hope they provide a root cause analysis.

The "something went wrong" message is the most frustrating part. At least tell us *what* went wrong! Transparency is key, especially for a platform many of us rely on for news and work.

It was funny seeing everyone migrate to Instagram and LinkedIn to complain about X being down. Shows how interconnected our digital lives are. But seriously, hope they fix these stability issues. 🤞
