what you need to know
- Downdetector shows thousands of Twitter outage reports for both website and apps.
- Users report that they cannot stay logged into their accounts.
- This may have to do with an issue related to old verification ticks causing problems with the system.
Another month, another Twitter outage. Twitter itself still appears to be live, but you probably can’t tweet right now. Why? Because a large number of Twitter users appeared to have been forcibly logged out of their accounts and then couldn’t log back into their accounts even with the correct credentials.
thousands of users Down-Detector (opens in new tab) have reported issues with Twitter on Android, iOS and the website. “Login” is the most common problem tagged.
Most of our staff have replicated this issue, although some are still able to access and use the site through their apps. In one instance, one of our employees — who had a verification tick before Elon Musk removed it in favor of Twitter Blue — was forced out of her account after changing her bio, which temporarily brought her blue tick back before the app kicked her out.

In the video above you can see an example of how old ticks are still associated with accounts in the backend and how you can get Twitter to temporarily show it again.
Other unchecked employees also had login issues, so it may not have anything to do with it. But it’s a clear sign that things have been at fault with Twitter accounts lately. It’s possible that the login issues are from Twitter engineers trying to close this gap. At the time of publication, the Twitter Support (opens in new tab) Account didn’t tweet anything to explain the issue.
In March, Twitter went down due to a problem with Twitter’s built-in URL shortener and redirect service. And in February, Twitter users faced an unexpected daily tweet limit before engineers fixed the issue.
