Top 4 Ways to Fix ‘Something Went Wrong’ Error on X (Formerly Twitter)

Quick Tips

• Ensure stable internet connectivity on your device.
• Restart the Twitter app to resolve temporary glitches.
• Remove cached data from the Twitter app and try restarting the app.
• Ensure you’re using the latest version of the Twitter app.

Preliminary Fixes

• Check Network Connection: First, check the network connection on your phone and the desktop. If you have issues with internet connectivity, X may not load as expected and throw a ‘Something went wrong’ error.
• Reached Rate Limit: X recently implemented a rate limit for unverified and verified accounts. Unverified accounts can view up to 600 posts daily, while the limit extends to 6,000 posts for verified ones. You may encounter this error if your account has reached the limit.
• Your Account is Restricted: X exercises strict community guidelines. If you post irrelevant stuff that breaks one of the X rules, the company may temporarily restrict that tweet or your account. You will receive an email from the X Support team about this.
• Check X Servers: When the X servers are down, you will face issues with essential functions in the app. You can visit Downdetector and search for X. If you notice high outage graphs, it confirms the server-side outage. You need to wait for X to fix the issue and try again after some time.
• Update X (Twitter): Updating the X app to the latest version can often resolve bugs and improve overall performance, including fixing the issue.
