Twitter, now rebranded as X, suffered a widespread outage on Monday, June 22, 2026, leaving users unable to load their feeds. The disruption, which began around 15:09 BST, also coincided with reports of issues affecting Amazon services, though the extent of the connection remains unclear.
Outage Details and User Reports
Users across multiple regions reported being unable to access the platform, with error messages appearing when attempting to refresh timelines. Downdetector logged a surge in complaints, peaking shortly after 15:00 BST. The outage affected both desktop and mobile versions of the site.
According to user reports on social media, the issue appeared to be related to feed loading, with some users encountering a blank screen or a spinning loading icon. Others reported being able to access direct messages but not the main timeline.
Amazon Issues Reported Simultaneously
Alongside the X outage, users also reported problems with Amazon services, including Amazon Web Services (AWS) and the main retail site. It is not yet known whether the two outages are linked, but the timing suggests a possible shared infrastructure cause, such as a cloud service disruption.
As of 15:12 BST, X had not released an official statement regarding the outage. Amazon had not commented on its reported issues at the time of writing.
Impact and Ongoing Updates
The outage has caused frustration among users, many of whom rely on the platform for news, communication, and business. The disruption also affected advertisers and content creators who depend on X for engagement.
