Popular social media platform known as X, formerly Twitter, has gone down after a welcome message appeared on the platform, instead of the usual feed, downdetector.com reported.
There are currently around 70,000 users in India unable to access the site, according to Downdetector.com.
Around 47,000 users in the US lodged complaints on Downdetector, Reuters reported.
In South Africa, there were just over 1,300 complaints filed on downdetector regarding the X platform.
The Downdetector website is able to track outages by compiling status reports from a number of sources, including internet users.
At this stage, there is no confirmation about what caused the outage.
There is also no communication regarding the outage from X boss Elon Musk, who usually makes announcements via his platform.
A number of internet users flocked to Facebook to find out whether or not the app had really crashed.
“Twitter down anyone?”, was a common message across the Meta platform on Wednesday.
“Please who uses X/twitter, seems the app is not working or someone should help me confirm,” Samuel Oseremen Imoisili wrote on Facebook.
People were also posting images of the X landing page, which all showed the same “welcome to your timeline” message.
In March and July this year, X also went dark with around 13,000 reports filed in the UK and US on Downdetector.
