X, the social media platform formerly known as Twitter, experienced a widespread outage on Friday, leaving tens of thousands of users unable to access the service, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.
In the United States, more than 62,000 users had reported problems with the platform as of 10:22 a.m. ET. The disruption was not limited to the U.S., with users in the United Kingdom logging about 11,000 incident reports, while more than 3,000 issues were recorded in India.
Downdetector compiles outage data from user-submitted reports and other sources, meaning the actual number of affected users could be higher than the figures displayed on the platform.
X had not immediately commented on the cause of the disruption at the time of reporting.
