Twitter users faced service disruptions on Monday as the platform experienced three separate outages throughout the day, Israel Hayom confirmed, with the site "Downdetector" confirming there was an outage at least in some parts of the world.
The first outage began around noon Israel time and lasted approximately 30 minutes, followed by a brief second disruption two hours later. A third, more significant outage was reported around 4 p.m. Israel time, affecting at least 30,000 users and continuing for about 30 minutes. Elon Musk, who owns the platform now officially known as X, has not issued any public statement regarding the service interruptions or their potential causes.
According to Downdetector, a website that tracks online service outages, user reports confirmed widespread problems with the platform during each incident. The exact cause of the disruptions remains unclear, though technical difficulties affecting major social media platforms typically stem from server issues, unplanned maintenance complications, or infrastructure problems.
The timing and duration of the outages varied, with the first lasting about 30 minutes before service resumed around 12:30 p.m. The second disruption occurred approximately two hours later but lasted only several minutes. The third and most widespread outage began around 4 p.m. Israel time and affected the largest number of users.
Twitter has not provided an official explanation for the technical difficulties or indicated and whether there are more likely outages on Monday.
