What is causing the recent surge in outages reported on downdetector for Tumblr, Telegram, and Xfinity? The answer lies in a series of significant service disruptions affecting thousands of users across different regions.
Tumblr has experienced a possible outage, with over 3,000 users reporting problems, primarily with its mobile application. Users have expressed their frustrations on social media, indicating difficulties in accessing the platform.
In Russia, Telegram has largely stopped functioning, with nearly 6,000 complaints filed on Saturday and about 12,000 on Sunday. Users reported that the app is not operational in any capacity, including opening the app and sending messages. Vladislav Voytenko, a local user, stated, “You can forget about using Telegram over mobile Internet,” highlighting the severity of the issue.
Complaints regarding Telegram began to rise over the weekend, suggesting a possible block by authorities, which has raised concerns among users about their ability to communicate freely.
