1 min read
Summary
Social networking platform X has been experiencing an issue with its notification feature since Thursday afternoon.
Although the problem seems to have resumed around 11am ET, users reported not receiving notifications about new posts, likes or followers for much of Thursday.
The issue has affected users’ ability to get alerts from influencers, sports news breakers, and local services, in addition to celebrities.
Notification issues also disrupted the ability to get timely alerts on vital information, including weather alerts and notifications about local transport and government services.
The root cause of the problem is unclear and no public comment or response has been issued by X.
However, X’s owner Elon Musk posted early Friday morning that users should notice improvements to the quality of recommendations on the platform.
