Tweetdeck down as Twitter suffers 'outages' meaning users can't read messages or tweet pictures

A social media outage has hit Twitter users across the UK.

The platform Tweetdeck, which allows users to schedule tweets, perform targeted searches and follow particular lists of accounts, suffered problems on Wednesday, leaving many unable to access it.

The issues extended to the standard Twitter platform , with tech website Down Detector reporting crashes mainly concentrated in London and the North West.

While it's mostly still possible to access regular Twitter, you might be having difficulty seeing direct messages at the moment, or may have trouble adding things like images, videos and polls to your tweets.

Twitter has acknowledged the problem and says experts are "working on a fix".

A spokesperson for the Twitter support team said: "We've been experiencing outages across Twitter and TweetDeck. You might have had trouble Tweeting, getting notifications, or viewing DMs.

"We're currently working on a fix, and should be back to normal soon."
