Micro-blogging platform Twitter on Thursday said that it has fixed the "trouble" that many iOS users experienced earlier, and hoped things would be back to normal now. The company tweeted from its @TwitterSupport account: "iOS users may have experienced some trouble using Twitter earlier." However, the company also flagged another issue where some URLs were being flagged as suspicious, leading to issues with post likes.
User reports peaked at more than 8,700 on the online outage monitor website Downdetector.
According to the outage monitor website, over 85 per cent of people had reported problems while using the application, 8 per cent while using the website, and 7 per cent with server connection.

Taking to the platform, several users reported the issue.
While one user asked, "is Twitter down or did I get suspended," another said, "why is Twitter down AGAIN. you are running this app into the GROUND Elon."
Last week, the micro-blogging platform had suffered a massive outage when several users globally, including in India, reported having issues while posting a tweet and sending direct messages (DMs).
After receiving multiple reports of the outage, the company had posted from its @TwitterSupport account stating, "Twitter may not be working as expected for some of you. Sorry for the trouble. We're aware and working to get this fixed."

Later, Twitter CEO Elon Musk had said that the platform was facing "multiple internal and external issues simultaneously" and would be "fully back on track later tonight".
Additionally, Twitter Support also posted that some users have shared URLs that were mistakenly flagged as suspicious. These flags would eventually lead to verification requests, which in turn hampered likes for posts. Twitter said that it is working to resolve this issue "as fast as possible."
