What is Downdetector?
Downdetector serves as a valuable online resource for users experiencing issues with various services, including social media platforms like X (Twitter), Instagram, and Facebook, as well as internet service providers and banks.

According to its website, Downdetector is “where people go when services don’t work.” The site monitors interruptions across essential services, providing real-time updates on outages and disruptions. Users can engage with the platform by submitting their own reports, contributing to a comprehensive overview of service reliability.
