X (Twitter) experienced a global outage on Thursday morning that prevented users from seeing any tweets on their timelines. The app and websites were functional, but all tabs — such as Following, For You and Lists — were blank. The outage lasted for over an hour before the services were restored.
Despite the issue, users were still able to post tweets, which made #TwitterDown a trending topic on the platform. However, no one could view those tweets until the problem was fixed.
