X is down right now for many users across the iPhone, web, and other platforms. The social media platform, formerly known as Twitter, is failing to display posts due the outage. It is unclear how long the issues will last.

X, the social media app formerly known as Twitter, is inaccessible for tens of thousands of users on Friday morning. More than 62,000 users reported issues with accessing X, as of 10 a.m. ET on Friday, Jan. 15, according to Downdetector, which tracks live service outages. 56% of the reported issues were related to the mobile app.

A major X outage disrupted millions of users worldwide on Thursday. Reports peaked at over 77,000 before services were gradually restored. A possible server or Cloudflare issue is believed to be the cause.

While it's unclear what caused the apparent X outage, the platform has in recent months faced issues when internet infrastructure platform Cloudflare went down. Late last year, X was one of many websites disrupted when Cloudflare went down in two separate incidents – one on Nov. 18, 2025 and another on Dec. 5, 2025.
