According to Down Detector, issues on the social media platform started after 1pm for thousands of people. The most reported issues are related to accessing the Twitter app and website accounting for 48% and 49% of reported issues respectively. Meanwhile, only 3% of reports report issues with streaming. A user on Down Detector complained about error messages sent by the page, adding: “”Something went wrong. Try reloading.” Yes, I’ve done this at least 50 times now.” Another added: “Twitter is crashing.” Users were having trouble getting back into the app after the website triggered the error. Others also faced problems while uploading the tweets on the social media platform with an error message that read “Unable to retrieve tweets at this time”. Twitter has yet to comment on the outage. More to come.
