Twitter, now known as X, experiences occasional outages like any online platform. These disruptions can range from minor glitches affecting specific features to complete platform shutdowns impacting all users. While X aims for high availability, factors like server issues, software bugs, or planned maintenance can lead to downtime. To check the current status of X, users can visit third-party outage tracking websites like DownDetector, consult X's official status page (if available), or search for trending hashtags on other social media platforms to see if others are reporting issues.
