Twitter down for thousands of people as users report huge outage

Thousands of Twitter users have reported that the social media giant is down or experiencing issues.

The microblogging website and app, owned by the world's richest person Elon Musk, received over 5,000 reports since 10am this morning on down detector, which logs when users say a website is down.

Up until this morning, the number of reports on down detector rarely exceeded 30 in a given day.

Users have detailed they have been greeted with blank timelines, are unable to search for specific terms, with trending topics failing to show any Tweets.

#TwitterDown, #MyTwitter and Welcome to Twitter are currently trending across the social media giant.

Twitter's official account as well as that of owner Elon Musk are yet to address the issue, experienced by some users.

The last Twitter outage was reported on February 15, with some users questioning whether the company laying off thousands of staff has had any affect on its performance in recent months.

"Well my Twitter is broken, can't see any posts unless they're in my notifications, my feed is replaced with the 'welcome to twitter' thing you get when you sign up," one frustrated user said.

Another asked: "Is it just me? My Twitter feed isn’t refreshing. Still stuck on old tweets from hours ago."

One more said: "why is Twitter down like every 2 days."
