TWITTER users are reporting issues with the social media site.
The issue, which appears to have started shortly after 3pm on Tuesday, April 25, is affecting Twitter’s website and app.
Many users are having issues viewing replies and threads of tweets.
One user said: “Is Twitter down for everyone or is it just my internet?”
Another added: “’Like’ function not working. I am checking new follower accounts - which clearly have tweeted multiple times, according to the info top left of their profiles - but Twitter is currently telling me they haven't tweeted.”

While a third said they were having issues viewing their timeline.
Twitter is yet to acknowledge the problem, which has seen thousands of people taking to the social media site to complain of the issues.
Is Twitter down?
According to DownDetector, 56% of the reported problems are to do with the website, while 32% of issues are taking place on the app version of the platform.
There are also issues with the site’s server connection with 12% reporting problems.
More than 1,000 Twitter users have reported issues on DownDetector.
Downdetector only reports an incident when the number of problem reports is significantly higher than the typical volume for that time of day.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
