Twitter is currently suffering from a login error. Some users of the popular social media platform say that they are receiving the "Something Went Wrong" error message.
Aside from the login issue, Twitter users also experience infinite loading tweets, unsent messages, and more. Down Detector also confirmed that it is still receiving surging reports, saying that the popular social media app is not working properly.
Is twitter down?
The latest Twitter login issue and other app errors that many users experience began on Apr. 17. Right now, Down Detector was able to record a peak of more than 9,000 reports.
On the other hand, the United Kingdom, version of the popular tool, received more than 5,000 reports, saying that Twitter is malfunctioning.
This is the second time that Twitter received a massive outage. On the other hand, the first login issue hit around 2:00 a.m. U.K. time.
Compared to the current Twitter errors, this one affected more than 55,000 users, as stated by Express UK's latest report. This number was based on the global version of the Down Detector tool.
Meanwhile, Down Detector UK recorded more than 16,000 reports of Twitter down.
"Tweets may not be loading for some of you. We're working on fixing a problem and you'll be back on the timeline soon," said Twitter via its support website.
"The Twitter data team is investigating a possible system irregularity currently affecting all Twitter API v2 endpoints starting at 2021-04-17 12:00 UTC," the giant social media platform added.
How to fix Twitter's login issue
If you are one of the users that are also having trouble using your Twitter app, you can follow these simple methods provided by Twitter's blog. However, these are not 100% effective, but they are still worth the try.
- Try clearing your browser's cookies or your app's cache. You can do this by going to the settings menu of your Twitter mobile browser.
- Always check if you are using the correct login name and password. Sometimes, this prevents you from logging in and could lead to the "Something Went Wrong" error message.
- If you can't use your Twitter account through your smartphone, you can try it on your desktop to see if it is really an ongoing outage.
