Twitter seems to be having difficulties, with users reporting that the site’s timeline isn’t loading on either the web or mobile apps.
The site itself is still accessible, as are individual accounts and the ability to send new tweets. But trying to load a timeline — whether “For You” or “Following”— just isn’t working. There’s been a spike of reports for the site on DownDetector, and users on Twitter are reporting broken timelines in the US, UK, and elsewhere. Oddly, it seems that lists (curated groups of users) do still work, so try that if your feed isn’t otherwise loading.
Here’s what Twitter currently looks like for most people. What’s happening? Well, we don’t know.
