The Target mobile app continues to face disruptions on Friday, December 19, leaving thousands of shoppers across the United States unable to place new orders or track existing purchases during a crucial holiday shopping period.
Reports of the outage began surfacing earlier in the day and remained unresolved by the evening, frustrating customers relying on the retailer’s digital platforms for last minute shopping.
Spike in complaints reported nationwide
According to outage tracking website Downdetector, more than a thousand users reported issues around 4.42 pm EST. The majority of complaints pointed to problems with the Target app and website, including failed checkouts, order tracking errors and login issues.
Social media platforms were quickly flooded with posts from users sharing screenshots of error messages and expressing concern over delayed deliveries and missed promotions.
Target acknowledges issue but offers limited updates
Target confirmed that it was aware of problems affecting its digital services earlier on Friday. In a post shared on X, the company said it was experiencing intermittent technical issues and that teams were actively working on a solution.
The retailer reassured customers that its physical stores remained open and fully operational, encouraging shoppers to visit locations in person while the issue was being addressed. Target also apologised for the inconvenience and said it would share updates once available.
However, as of Friday evening, no further official communication or timeline for full restoration had been provided.
