Twitter is down? What you can do

It happens every now and then: Twitter is down – it’s been down for a while. What you can do if Twitter won’t load is explained in this practical tip.

Twitter down? How to check the status

You can check whether you are alone with the problem on the Twitter status page. But note, before Twitter shares anything on the status page, it can take as little as half an hour to an hour.

• Alternatively, it may be worth taking a look at All Disruptions. Here, German Twitter users give feedback when they have problems with the provider.

Why isn’t Twitter working for you?

• Check your internet connection to see if it might be the reason why you can’t access Twitter at the moment. Try opening other websites as a test to see if they are also experiencing a problem.
• You can then try refreshing and reopening your browser, clearing your cache and history.
