Is Twitter Down?
Is Twitter down? Is frequently asked due to the social media giant getting hit offline for various reasons. We answer that question right here.
Is Twitter down? A question that we're sure you're asking yourself at this current time. Twitter is probably your go-to place for the latest news, updates from your favourite celebrities, and much more. However, you're going to struggle to access all of that juicy information right now as it appears the ever-popular social network may have been hit offline.
Is Twitter Down?
Plaguing users around the globe from approximately 13:15 BST (07:15 CST), Twitter has been failing to deliver new tweets to your timeline ever since.
However, from around 14:00 BST (08:00 CST) things appear to be back to normal.
For the most part, Twitter users were still able to log into their accounts, it was simply the 'tweets' portion of the platform that wasn't updating, either showing you old tweets from when you last loaded the app, or simply no tweets at all. If you were met with the "Something went wrong. Try reloading message", sadly, reloading wasn't going to cut it, and you'd have been playing the waiting game like the rest of us.
This isn't the first time we've seen Twitter down, and it certainly won't be the last, as websites of this ilk sadly get hit by various network outages on what seems like a monthly basis. Whether it's server issues, hackers, or the internal team breaking the site with new features, we'll be seeing social media giants like Twitter get taken offline again and again.
