Twitter goes down for millions unable to access website

Millions have reported problems accessing Twitter via desktop this evening.

The website is not accessible for many across the UK, US and other countries.

However, people are still able to access the site via their phones and many have been tweeting about the issue.

Down Detector, which monitors service problems at different websites, said that their user reports indicate problems at Twitter.

A map showed people around the UK were not able to access the site, with most reports coming in from London, Manchester and Birmingham.

In the US people were also reporting issues, including in New York, Chicago and Seattle.

Twitter has not yet addressed what is causing the outage with the website.

But the phone apps do not seem to be having the same issue.

So if you’re really desperate to send (or scroll) those late-night tweets, your phone is probably your best bet.
