Social network Twitter is currently experiencing a global outage as most users are unable to update, or in some cases even load, their timeline feeds. Neither the Twitter website nor the Twitter iPhone app is working properly.
Sending a tweet works in the app, but in many cases only the author can see their tweet because the timelines are out of order. Twitter search is also non-functional. There are thousands of reports of the outage on the Down Detector website.
It’s not clear what’s causing the outage, but Twitter conducted its fourth round of layoffs over the weekend, shedding 10% of its remaining workforce. The layoffs reportedly hit several departments, including displays and infrastructure engineering, and left the company with fewer than 2,000 employees. It had about 7,500 when Elon Musk took over.
Update: While the “Following” feed is still down, some users are reporting that they can now see the “For you” feed, which algorithmically summarizes recommended tweets from unfollowed accounts.
Update: Schedules have now reportedly been restored.
