Facebook isn’t the only social media suffering from serious downtime. As of mid-day on July 3rd, Twitter is experiencing “some issues” with direct message delivery and notifications.
The website Down Detector, which regularly tracks outages on various platforms and websites, listed 122 reports of outages on Twitter. Users also expressed their frustration with their Twitter direct messages, commonly referred to as “DMs” on the social media website.
Twitter posted a tweet about the issue shortly before noon on Wednesday, explaining the company was having “some issues” with the delivery of direct messages and notifications.
“We’re working on a fix and will follow up as soon as we have an update for you. Apologies for the inconvenience,” Twitter Support concluded its tweet.
It’s unclear what caused the problem on Twitter and the social media website gave no indication as to when the direct messaging feature would be available for users.
We're currently having some issues with DM delivery and notifications. We're working on a fix and will follow up as soon as we have an update for you. Apologies for the inconvenience.
