Several Twitter users have been facing glitches while trying to access the micro-blogging site since Thursday morning. Users reported that they faced problems while attempting to tweet or trying to access a Twitter account. Notably, users faced the glitches only while accessing the site via a web browser.

According to outage tracker Downdetector, users faced problems with Twitter between 6.43 am -10.00 am. However, some users were unable to fully access the site around 12 noon as well.

Meanwhile, Twitter acknowledged the issues and assured users who flagged the glitch that it is being resolved. “We’re currently working on a fix. Thanks for sticking with us!” the reply read.

In a thread of tweets, the micro-blogging site kept users updated about the process.

The technical issues have been resolved and the site is fully operational again. 

However, this is not the first time this year, that the information-sharing website faced a technical glitch or global outage. In April, Twitter faced a similar outage when over 40,000 users reported problems with the platform. It took over 24 hours back then to fix the problems.

In a world that revolves around technology and banks upon the internet for most of its activity, digital outages become the talk of the town in no time.

Owing to the enormous web content and heavy consumption, such technical glitches have become more common now.

Several US and Australian airline websites reported online outages affecting their websites and apps on June 17. Westpac, ANZ, ME Bank all reported problems with their mobile apps or online banking products, while customers also reported St. George and several regional banks were also down.

Before then on June 8, a massive world-wide internet outage was reported following which major global websites, including media websites like CNN, The Guardian, and the Financial Times, government, and social sites, were inaccessible temporarily. It was said to be due to glitches in the content delivery network of US cloud computing service provider Fastly.
