X Down? Some UAE Users Report Issues Accessing Posts, Notifications

Several residents in the UAE reported experiencing issues with social media platform X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, June 22, with users saying they were unable to access content despite receiving notifications.

According to users, alerts and post notifications continued to arrive as normal. However, when they tapped on the notifications, the content failed to load, with some receiving error messages indicating that posts were unavailable.

“I use X throughout the day for work, so I immediately noticed something was wrong,” said L.R.G., a Dubai resident.“I was getting notifications as usual, but every time I clicked on them, the posts wouldn't load. At first I thought it was my internet connection, but even the app itself was not loading."
