Microblogging platform X faced a global outage on Wednesday evening, with users unable to refresh timelines or open links. The issue spread quickly, with thousands reporting problems in India and the United States. Downdetector showed a sharp rise in complaints within minutes. Many users said notifications were still coming, but feeds would not load. The app displayed a message: “Cannot retrieve posts at this time. Please try again later.” This suggested a wider system issue. Users moved to other platforms to check updates. The company has not yet shared the reason or timeline for a fix. (PC: X)
