X (Twitter) is working right now
There's nothing to notify you about. If it goes down later, come back and we'll let you know when it's fixed.
Our automated check runs from one or more locations and may miss in-app problems; reports come from users across India. We only call something "down" when users confirm it too. Here's how we check.

About X (Twitter)
X is the platform almost everyone still calls Twitter. Elon Musk bought it in 2022, renamed it in 2023, and it has since been folded into his AI company xAI.
Its role has not really changed, it remains where breaking news, politics, sport and public argument play out in real time, and in India it carries a great deal of journalism, cricket commentary and political messaging.
Its traffic is event driven rather than habitual, an election result, a match, or a big news break brings everybody on at once, which is when the platform is under the most strain.

If X (Twitter) isn't working
-
'Rate limit exceeded'? You did too many actions too fast, so it is temporary. Wait a while, often up to 30 minutes. The website and app have separate limits, so try the other one.
-
Feed not loading or 'something went wrong'? Refresh, check your connection, and update the app. The timeline can fail for many people at peak traffic.
-
Can't post or log in? During an outage this hits many people at once. If reports are low, check your connection and avoid repeated attempts that can lock the account.
-
Try the web versus the app X tracks web and app limits separately, so one often works when the other does not.
-
Check the live status above A spike across India or globally means it is X, not you.
Other ways to access X (Twitter)
-
Try the web versus the app If the app is stuck or rate limited, x.com in a browser often works, and vice versa.
-
Wait out a rate limit A rate limit clears on its own, usually within a while, so slow down your actions after it lifts.
-
Follow news on another app for now For live updates during an X outage, another app or a news site can fill in until it is back.
-
X Support for account issues Use the verified X support contact for login or account locks. X help is mainly in the app and online.
