X notifications are broken

User reports can be seen across Reddit and X, and my colleagues at The Verge have noticed zero new notifications even with alerts enabled on accounts that have posted multiple times since yesterday.

Outside of hindering updates from your favorite X users, the busted notifications may also disrupt essential alerts from accounts run by public transportation companies, emergency weather services, and other key service providers.

While we confirmed some pings for user tags are working, users have also reported they haven’t received notifications for new likes and followers for almost a day. In some instances, users said notifications appeared several hours after they should have been received.

It’s unclear what is causing the issues or how badly the X notifications system is affected. At 6:04AM ET on Friday, X owner Elon Musk posted that users β€œshould be noticing some improvements to the quality of recommendations in your timeline.” The company hasn’t yet acknowledged the notification issues or given any indication of when they might be resolved.

We have reached out to X and will update if we hear back.
