Twitter is yet to comment on the problems being experienced by users, which were first reported at about 12.20pm.

Some users have complained of seeing a 'cannot retrieve tweets' error message when attempting to view or post tweets.

One user wrote: "What's going on with twitter. I can't update the feed. It's saying there's an error or something. It seems to be the app is down at the moment."

Another added: "I joined Twitter in 2009, and I've had more problems since Elon took over than the whole time before that. Insanity."
