Micro-blogging platform Twitter faced a major global outage with several users having issues while posting a tweet and sending direct messages (DMs). According to the outage monitor website DownDetector, over 59 per cent of people had reported problems while using the application, 32 per cent while using the website, and 9 per cent with server connection. Taking to the platform, many users reported the issues.

While one user said, "did Twitter Dms stop working #TwitterDown", another mentioned: "Anyone else being blocked from tweeting or retweeting? #TweetLimit #DailyLimit #TwitterDown." Users had scheduled their tweets for reporting the issues as they were not likely to post it immediately.
