It’s not you, it’s the bird. Twitter users reported outages on the Twitter iOS app Wednesday, but using the social media site on a desktop seemed to be doing just fine.
According to DownDetector, reports of Twitter outages began pouring in shortly after 2 p.m. EST. At 2:45 p.m., 9,499 outages were reported. Outages started to flatten out shortly after 3 p.m. 86% of the reports involved the Twitter app, while only 8% describe issues with the desktop website. As of publishing this article, the Twitter app appears to be up and running again.
We’d like more information about what caused these outages and reached out to Twitter to clarify. The Elon Musk-owned site did not immediately return Gizmodo’s request for comment on the outages, or the cause of them. It’s safe to say that’s because the company no longer has much of a communications department since Musk took over.
