DoorDash's app froze Sunday night. The outage lasted more than five hours. Users saw constant "something went wrong" messages when they tried to place orders. The glitch disabled the ordering function across devices on smartphones and computers. Customers spammed social feeds of the error screen on Twitter and Instagram. The problem spread nationwide in the United States.
The failure struck during peak viewing hours. Social media feeds filled with pandemonium. DoorDash claimed technicians were on it. The interruption ended by sunrise. The company has yet to explain what happened.
