X, formerly Twitter, services restored

X, formerly Twitter, services have been restored after the platform appeared to have suffered a major outage on Friday.

The disruption, which began sometime around 7:00pm, affected both web-based and mobile users.

X officials have not yet addressed the outage, but several users have since taken to the platform to complain.

“I have been using this app for the past six years and I have never seen Twitter go down this often. X literally crashes every day,” one user wrote.

“Twitter was down for 30 minutes. I almost had to touch grass,” another said.

Tracking website Down Detector had showed a huge spike in reports of problems at X.
