X Update: Elon Musk's 'X' suddenly stopped working, leaving users perplexed by the blank screen...

X Down: On Monday evening, when social media users opened their favorite app, 'X' (formerly Twitter), to check the state of affairs in the country and the world, they were in for a disappointment. On the evening of February 16, 2026, X.com services in India were suddenly disrupted. Thousands of users were left confused as to whether the problem was with their internet or the app. Since around 7 p.m., people have been experiencing difficulties refreshing their timelines.

A sudden surge of complaints on Downdetector

Data from the outage-tracking website 'Downdetector' indicates that the problem is not minor. The graph on the website showed a significant spike in complaints around 7:00 p.m. According to the data received, by 7:02 p.m., more than 3,000 people reported being unable to use X. This figure represents only those who have filed complaints, while the actual number of affected users could be much higher. The straight red line in the graph indicates that this could be a major server-side issue.

Homepage missing, timeline blank.

The problem isn't limited to the mobile app; the desktop version is also experiencing the same issue. Users are reporting that upon opening X.com, they are greeted with either a completely blank screen or the old feed. New content isn't loading, and no one's profile opens. This situation is frustrating for those who rely solely on Elon Musk's platform for daily news and trends. Many users have even resorted to other social media platforms to confirm whether X is truly down or their phone has simply malfunctioned.

When will the problem be fixed?

At present, there has been no official statement from the company regarding the actual technical reason behind this outage. Usually, when services experience such widespread outages, it's the result of a backend server failure or network glitch. Elon Musk's team is often quick to resolve such issues, but so far, there's been silence. The notification section is also down, preventing users from knowing if their posts have received any responses.

Experts advise that if you're experiencing this issue, there's no need to panic. Avoid repeatedly installing and uninstalling apps. This is common due to technical glitches, and it's hoped that services will be restored shortly.
