Social network X had a brief outage today, August 14. It came after Facebook faced issues earlier the same day.
Initial report volumes suggested X was experiencing a much larger problem, and for a short while we were unable to load our timeline or post, with users also reporting issues with X’s Grok AI.
However, whatever it was causing the issues appear to be resolved quickly as the service returned within an hour of the first reports.
The good news for X is this momentary blip is nothing like the major outage it experienced earlier this year, with a significant event back in March hampering the site for two days.
