Update as of 16 January 2026, 9:41 PM IST: The issue appears to be resolved at the time of writing; however, X has yet to make an official announcement explaining the cause.

Old story continues below..

X is currently facing issues, with users unable to load or reload the platform. Instead, many are seeing an error message that reads, “Something went wrong. Try reloading.”

Even Downdetector shows a spike in reports, indicating that X has been experiencing an outage since around 8:43 PM IST, with several users reporting problems on the platform.

Previously, during the Cloudflare outage, X and several other websites went down, and now X appears to be facing another disruption, though the exact reason remains unclear at the moment. It is likely that the X team is working on resolving the issue, and once services are restored, the company may issue an official statement explaining what caused the outage.
