Current Status (November 21, 2025): X (Twitter) is experiencing a major global outage. If your timeline is not loading, posts are missing, or you see “Something went wrong,” it is not your phone or internet. It is a problem on X’s end.
Reports indicate widespread issues affecting the mobile app and website starting around 1:30 PM ET (approx 11:00 PM IST).
What you should do right now:
Wait it out: Since this is a server-side crash, no amount of restarting or reinstalling will fix it.
Do NOT log out: If the servers are struggling, you might not be able to log back in once the service returns.
Check status: You can verify if others are still having issues by searching “Twitter down” on Google or checking a site like DownDetector.

Troubleshooting (For when the servers are back up)
If the outage is resolved but you are still having trouble, follow these steps to reset your connection.
1. The “Rate Limit” Error:
- If you see “Rate Limit Exceeded,” you have viewed too many posts in a short period (or the system thinks you have).
Fix: There is no bypass. You must wait 1-2 hours for the limit to reset.
2. App & Cache Fixes
iPhone/Android:
Force close the app (swipe it away completely).
Clear Cache (Android): Long press the X app icon > App Info > Storage & Cache > Clear Cache.
Update: Check the App Store/Play Store. Old versions of the app often break when X updates their backend.
3. Browser Fixes (Chrome/Safari/Edge)
Disable Ad Blockers: X often blocks connections from browsers running aggressive ad blockers or privacy extensions (like Ghostery or uBlock). Turn them off for
x.comto test.Clear Cookies: Go to settings and clear cookies specifically for
twitter.comandx.com.VPN: If you are using a VPN, turn it off. X frequently blocks VPN IP addresses to prevent bot spam.
Summary:
Right now (Nov 21), the platform is down for everyone. Sit tight and try again in an hour.
