Twitter appeared to go 'down' early on Thursday afternoon, with thousands of users reporting 'serious issues' with the globally famous social media platform.
Around 1pm UK time those searching for trends or looking at accounts on Twitter were greeted with a 'Tweets aren't loading right now' error message or 'Something went wrong. Try again."
The problem was confirmed by Down Detector, which reported that the majority of problems are to do with accessing the Twitter app and website accounting for 48% and 49% of reported issues respectively.
