Many users who previously received error messages, slow loading times, or an inability to refresh their feeds noted that the platform was becoming accessible again, though some intermittent issues persisted.

The outage, which began around 9:30 WAT (8:30 AM CET), left thousands frustrated as they struggled to log in, post updates, or view content.
