X Timelines Not Updating: Users Face Feed & Notification Glitch

X Users Hit by Timeline and Notification Glitch Sometime Thursday night, a significant number of users on X, the social network owned by billionaire Elon Musk, found their timelines had stopped updating. This disruption also extended to notifications for many, leaving them unaware of new posts and interactions on the platform. Widespread Issue Across Devices The problem, which began for some around 6 p.m. Eastern on Thursday, May 8, according to reports, was not isolated to a single version of the X platform. Users reported experiencing the frozen timelines and lack of notifications on: The X mobile apps (both iOS and Android) The web version of X Attempts to resolve the issue by switching devices or browsers proved futile. Even subscribing to X Premium, the platform's subscription service, did not alleviate the problem for affected users. One reporter from TechCrunch noted their timeline had not updated for 15 hours, indicating the persistence of the glitch into Friday. Server-Side Bug Suspected The nature of the problem, affecting users across different platforms and not being resolved by common troubleshooting steps, strongly suggests a server-side bug. Users shared their experiences and frustrations on other platforms, including X's unofficial subreddit. One user in Germany stated, "No notifications since about 10 p.m. last night here in Germany!" Another user mentioned, "I thought that uninstalling and reinstalling the app would work (it didn’t)." These accounts highlight the widespread and consistent nature of the issue, pointing away from individual user-side errors. No Immediate Comment from X As of Friday morning, X had not publicly addressed the timeline and notification issues, nor had it responded to requests for comment from media outlets regarding the disruption. This left affected users in the dark about the cause of the problem or when they could expect a resolution. The inability to see new content or receive updates on interactions significantly hampers the user experience on a real-time platform like X. Users are awaiting a fix and an official explanation from the company.
