Twitter suffers widespread outages all over the world
Twitter users worldwide were unable to access the social-networking site Thursday, with an apparent outage that affected both mobile and web platforms.
On the web, users saw an error message that said, “Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing —we’re going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon.” An error message in the Twitter app said, “Tweets aren’t loading right now.”
In a statement, a Twitter rep said, “We are currently investigating issues people are having accessing Twitter.”

According to website DownDetector.com, Twitter began experiencing issues around 2:46 p.m. ET on Thursday. The highest concentration of user-reported technical problems were from Western Europe and the U.S.
The Twitter outage comes on the heels of a string of technical problems at Instagram recently. On July 3, a technical glitch prevented Instagram users worldwide — as well as Facebook and WhatsApp users — from sharing or accessing photos and videos for much of the day. That was less than a month after Instagram had an outage that lasted more than two hours, following two other major outages in June.
