X, formerly known as Twitter, has gone down for millions of users around the world, with the website, app and XPro all affected.
Thousands of people reported problems in the UK, as well as in countries all around the world.
It’s bad news for Elon Musk after the social media platform experienced similar problems yesterday.
There was also a localised outage across much of the East Coast of America on Thursday.
More than 11,000 users recorded issues with the app in the UK with website tracker Downdetector. In the US, more than 25,000 reported issues.
They described logging in to the app only for no posts to be shown, and receiving an error message stating: ‘Cannot retrieve posts at this time. Please try again later.’
It comes after a huge fire broke out at a data centre in Hillsboro Technology Park in Oregon, US, on Thursday, where it is understood X leases space.
