Twitter ‘down’ as thousands of users complain app not working in mystery outage
TWITTER has reportedly suffered a major outage Thursday morning
Thousands of reports regarding Twitter being down flooded Downdetector at around 7.30am EST.
A staggering 76 percent of reports claimed issues surrounding the website.
Another 13 percent of reports flagged problems with logging into the platform.
The remaining 11 percent of reports noted concerns with the server connection.
Some users in Downdetector’s comments said they were having trouble tweeting.
Others pointed out that their Twitter search feature wouldn’t load or refresh.
“Slow loading. Photos not loading. I feel like I’m using a modem. Other sites seem fine,” one person said.
“Logged out and account suspended for no apparent reason 5-7 days to review,” a second person said.
“Desktop user. When I first went to the site everything was fine, then log out and suspension,” they added.
“I can’t log into Twitter from PC but works fine on my phone. It just blinks and takes me back to the sign-in,” a third person remarked.
The popular platform has been facing a number of outages recently, as many commenters in Downdetector noted.
Just earlier this week on Monday, over 4,000 users reported issues while trying to access their Twitter profile.
Users complained that the website was logging them out unexpectedly and they were unable to log in to the platform.
“It won’t let me login in both my ChromeBook and my phone,” one Twitter user said.
Another said that she received an email saying someone had accessed her Twitter account, but she was unable to access the platform.
“This is so annoying I get emails that I’ve logged in but it doesn’t work,” the woman wrote.
Twitter was purchased by billionaire Elon Musk in October 2022.
