Twitter had an outage this morning that prevented users from tapping on links inside tweets, or viewing images in their timelines. The problem has been resolved.
, around 12 pm EST, the number of complaints it received about the social media site soared from 31 to over 10,000 in a bit over 30 minutes. 76% of the complaints deal with the Twitter website while 14% say that they had a problem with the Twitter app. Some users received error messages when trying to tap on links inside tweets that said,"your current API plan does not include access to this endpoint.
The number of Downdetector users reporting an issue with Twitter has declined sharply. This has left the graph looking like the stock chart of Game Stop or any other of those shares manipulated by Robin Hood subscribers. At 1:27 pm EST, the number of Twitter users reporting an issue with Downdetector had declined to 250. That's much lower than 10,000 but still indicates that there is a problem.
But there is good news. The Twitter Support account reports that"Things should now be working as normal. Thanks for sticking with us!" The social media company didn't explain what caused links to fail and images not to appear in the first place. If Twitter does share this information, we will update this article.
