Twitter was down for thousands of users around the globe on Monday, before the company reportedly fixed the issues about an hour later.
Issues with Twitter’s website, app and logging into both platforms were apparent by around 12.50pm ET on Monday.
A spike in issues were seen just after 12.30pm on DownDetector, which monitors online outages.
More than 3,000 American users reported issues by 12.52pm and simultaneously, about 1,800 British users reported problems, according to DownDetector.
Users in New Zealand and other countries were also reportedly affected.
Many Twitter users said their tweets were not refreshing. In addition, users said they were kicked off the platform and forced to try logging back in.
It was not immediately clear what caused the crash or about how many total users were affected.
The issues appeared to be fixed by around 1.30pm ET, according to the Daily Mail.
The last time that Twitter crashed was more than a month ago, on October 4.
Other social media platforms owned by Meta including Facebook, WhatsApp and Messenger have also recently crashed. Those three last went down on November 3, impacting thousands of users worldwide for several hours.
Twitter’s latest crash came just days after its announcement on Friday that it is rolling out a search button on some accounts that lets users more easily look for past tweets. The button on the top right corner by the 3-dot menu began showing up in some users’ accounts last month, and has since been more widely added, according to XDA Developers.
Last month, Twitter finished launching a feature on its website that allows users to remove followers without blocking them, and prevents them from knowing they were dropped. The user would also stop seeing the removed person’s future posts.
