X hit by twin outages in a day as mystery downtime rattles users

X suffered two major outages on Feb 16, 2026, leaving users worldwide unable to load posts and seeing errors. Downdetector spikes peaked around 41,000 US reports and 12,000 in the UK during the first wave and recurred later, with the latest spike approaching earlier highs before easing. No official cause has been given; Cloudflare and AWS reported no widespread issues, suggesting the fault may lie with an internal crash, DNS misconfiguration, or overly aggressive anti-bot systems. The service appeared to recover by the end of the day, though some users still faced problems as the outageApparently persisted regionally.

X Suffers Global Outage as Users Report Widespread Access Issues

X, the platform formerly known as Twitter, faced a global outage with about 43,000 user reports on Downdetector as of 8:34 a.m. ET; users saw error messages like 'Something went wrong' and were unable to load timelines or post. Service briefly recovered for about an hour, then a second wave of issues hit around 1 p.m. ET before clearing up again in under an hour. The outage adds to a pattern of recent disruptions for X, including a nearly three-hour outage in November 2025 and other past incidents.

Google Home Outage Knocks Smart Devices Offline, Fix Pending

Google confirms an ongoing outage that makes a range of Google Home–compatible devices appear offline in the Home app (bulbs, switches, outlets, etc.), even though some still respond to voice via Gemini; cameras and speakers may be less affected. The company is working on a fix but has not provided a timeline. Downdetector shows a spike in reports, and users have suggested temporary workarounds like VPN or removing/re-adding devices, though the exact cause remains unconfirmed.

X outage leaves users staring at blank screens as service recovers in under two hours

A widespread outage on X (formerly Twitter) around 10am ET on Jan 16 left thousands with blank screens on desktop and mobile. Downdetector tracked a huge spike as posts failed to load for about 90 minutes before service largely recovered. Some users still experienced slow loads or partial access, and DMs and Grok AI responses were affected. X’s status page later indicated all systems were operational, and Tom’s Guide provided a live recap of the event; the incident was shorter and less dramatic than the 2025 outage.
