It looks like Google Pixel phones are getting the shorter end of the stick on X (formerly Twitter). Users are reporting some kind of performance issues with the X app which has led to it slowing down, and not opening, among other things. You won’t find Elon Musk tweeting about it, but the support team at X has taken notice. But first here are the issues plaguing Pixel users on the X app. Core Issues Identified X (Formerly Twitter) Users On Google Pixel Phones Are Reporting App Performance Issues Slow Loading Times: Users have reported that the X app on Google Pixel devices suffers from prolonged loading times. This issue affects the initial loading of content as well as the refreshing of feeds. Image Loading Challenges: Apart from just the app, there is a significant problem encountered related to image loading. There have been instances where images either fail to load or stop loading randomly. Not the most glowing recommendation of a service that relies heavily on visual media Delayed Tweet Posting: However, the biggest thing is a noticeable delay in posting new tweets. Compared to the usual quick post times, this lag is likely to make long-time Twitter users a bit unhappy. Slow Notification Response: Finally there are suggestions that notification opening times are also unusually slow on Google Pixel devices. Company's Response Fred Lohner Tweet Fred Lohner, a member of the mobile development team at X, has acknowledged these issues.

Looking Forward Users experiencing delays in posting new tweets via X on Google Pixel X has not yet provided a specific timeline for resolving these issues. Likely, the company will first make every effort to identify whether this is even a problem worth considering before rolling out any kind of update. However, X’s proactive approach is appreciated given the rather murky waters the company has been navigating through these past few months. Major advertisers have walked off the platform due to Elon Musk’s perceived antisemitic rhetoric. The withdrawal includes more than 100 brands such as Apple, Disney, and more. When asked about it in a recent interview, Musk bluntly stated that he will not be “blackmailed” by these companies and that they can “Go F--k themselves”. The ad revenue hit to X is likely estimated to be around $70 million although X claims this to be an exaggerated figure.
