Twitter down: Users see ‘error’ instead of tweets as website breaks
Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Twitter has stopped working properly, with users instead seeing an error message.
Visitors to the web version of the service saw a message reading: “Error”.
“Something went wrong, but don’t fret — it’s not your fault. Let’s try again.”
It then tried to get users to refresh, but that did not seem to work for the most part.
The app version of the service appeared to be functioning as normal.
Twitter was once well known for regularly having issues, and early users became well acquianted with the “fail whale” that would appear when the site was down.
In recent years, however, the site has become more robust, and outages are much more rare.
