Twitter is down as thousands of users report issues with their newsfeed on the social media app.
Reports of problems about the app spiked massively this afternoon, according to the Downdetector monitoring website.
At the peak of the issues at around 3pm, more than 1,900 people had contacted the service in the last 24 hours, reporting problems with the app.
Figures then began to decline – but they are now on the rise again, with the count for the number of reports in the last 24 hours at around 1,700 at just after 4pm.
Most recently, users reported having received an error message several times, which said: ‘Cannot retrieve posts at this time. Please try again later.’
One commenter on the Downdetector website said: ‘Thank you Elon, for being so competent.’
Most problems, or 74 per cent of them, were reported on the app as opposed to the website, which accounted for 25 per cent of complaints.
Only 1 per cent of reports were about the comments.
