Is Twitter down? Users report issues with website and app

TWITTER users are reporting issues with the social media site.

The issue, which appears to have started shortly after 3pm on Tuesday, April 25, is affecting Twitter’s website and app.

Many users are having issues viewing replies and threads of tweets.

One user said: “Is Twitter down for everyone or is it just my internet?”

Another added: “’Like’ function not working. I am checking new follower accounts - which clearly have tweeted multiple times, according to the info top left of their profiles - but Twitter is currently telling me they haven't tweeted.”

While a third said they were having issues viewing their timeline.

Twitter is yet to acknowledge the problem, which has seen thousands of people taking to the social media site to complain of the issues.

According to DownDetector, 56% of the reported problems are to do with the website, while 32% of issues are taking place on the app version of the platform.
