Twitter Down: Social Network Experiencing Widespread Outage, Posts Failing to Load
Users are encountering a broad service disruption this morning ET that is preventing posts from loading across multiple access methods, including iPhone, the web and other devices. The interruption appears to be affecting people in the United States and the United Kingdom, though it may not be universal.
Scope of the outage
The problem is manifesting as posts failing to load in feeds and timelines. Attempts to refresh content are returning blank spaces or error indicators instead of new posts, leaving many users unable to view recent activity. The disruption has been observed on mobile devices, desktop browsers and other client apps, suggesting a back-end delivery issue rather than an app-only bug.
Geographically, complaints and checks show impact in both the U. S. and the U. K., with the possibility that other regions are affected as well. Because not every account or device exhibits the fault, the outage appears intermittent and uneven, complicating efforts to pin down a single cause or a clear pattern of failures.
What users are experiencing
Typical symptoms include stalled timelines, missing posts and timeouts when attempting to load individual messages. Some users see cached content while others see nothing at all. For those relying on the service for news or communications, the interruption has interrupted normal workflows and dampened engagement on the site.
Attempts to troubleshoot locally—such as restarting apps, clearing caches or switching networks—have produced mixed results. Because the issue is visible across apps and web access, the problem likely resides with centralized systems that handle content fetching and delivery rather than individual devices or home networks.
What we know and what to watch
At present, the duration and root cause of the outage remain unclear. There is no verified timeline for restoration, and some users report intermittent recoveries followed by fresh failures. When a service interruption of this scale occurs, potential culprits typically include server-side configuration errors, content delivery network issues, or problems with components that assemble and serve timelines.
Users advised to monitor the situation and avoid making critical decisions based solely on the affected service until full functionality returns. Those who rely on the network for time-sensitive communication should consider alternative channels for now. Service restoration may roll out gradually, so some users could see their feeds return before others.
We will continue tracking developments this morning ET and will provide updates as additional information becomes available. For people experiencing the outage, documenting the exact symptoms—device type, access method, and any error messages—can help clarify whether problems are localized or part of the broader disruption.
