Users complained that Twitter was not working for them on the web and mobile. Some even pointed out that they were logged out of their Twitter account. Most of these users were originating from the US and the issue started late in the night at around 12:00 AM midnight (IST). Twitter reached out to its users half an hour later at 12:37 AM IST confirming the fix and also sharing the details of the outage.
The micro-blogging platform explained that it had made some changes in the internal system which did not go according to the plan, and caused a major outage for thousands of users.
We fixed it! We made an internal systems change that didn’t go as planned and have rolled it back. Twitter should now be loading as expected. Sorry about that!
