Is Temu Down?
Community outage trackers list Temu’s status as “down” today, and user reports have surged into the thousands within a short time window. Monitoring platforms such as Downdetector have recorded many complaints focused mainly on the Temu mobile app rather than the website, confirming this is not an isolated issue.
On social platforms, the hashtag “#temudown” is trending as shoppers share that they cannot search, load orders, or complete checkouts. Outage forums that track multiple online services have added a dedicated Temu thread for this incident, which typically happens only when a disruption is large and affects users across regions.

What Happened to Temu Today?
Reports indicate a sudden spike in technical problems on Temu’s platform today, with users facing app crashes, blank screens, and error messages when trying to browse or buy. Outage trackers show that complaints climbed rapidly over the course of the afternoon and evening, suggesting a platform-side issue such as server instability or a problematic update.
At the same time, Temu is under increased regulatory and legal pressure, including a recent lawsuit from the Arizona Attorney General accusing the app of aggressive data collection and deceptive practices, which has drawn extra scrutiny to how the app operates. Separate coverage also notes new policy and shipping changes (such as tariff-related restrictions) that may be altering what users can actually order, making the experience feel “broken” even when the app technically loads.
Why is Temu not Working?
There are three broad reasons Temu may not be working for you today:
Ongoing outage or server issues: A large number of users are reporting that Temu’s servers are unstable, especially for the mobile app, leading to login failures, slow loading, or complete inaccessibility. In this situation, there is little a user can do except wait for Temu to resolve the backend problem and watch outage trackers or social posts for recovery signals.
Functional limits from policy or shipping changes: Recent analysis suggests Temu has restricted or halted certain direct shipments (for example, due to tariff or policy shifts), which can cause items to appear unavailable, carts to fail, or checkouts to be blocked even when the app opens normally. Users may see “out of stock”, “cannot ship to this address”, or empty results pages because of these changes, rather than purely technical bugs.
Local app or device glitches: Some users see white screens, app crashes, or “no internet” errors caused by outdated app versions, cached data, or weak connectivity on their own devices. Common quick fixes include checking your internet, updating the Temu app from the store, clearing cache (on Android), restarting your phone, and reinstalling the app to force a clean reconnection.
If Temu opens but you cannot buy anything, the cause is likely current policy or shipping restrictions; if it will not open at all, it is more likely a combination of today’s outage and a need to update or reset the app.
