The social media giant confirmed shortly after 2:30 p.m. on Tuesday, Aug. 9 that its platform was struggling, posting a message online advising that they were working to make the fix.

“Twitter may not be loading for some of you,” Twitter Support said. “we’re working on a fix to get you back to your timelines ASAP.”

It is unclear what caused the outages, or why they were limited to certain areas.

Shortly after 3 p.m. on Tuesday afternoon, officials said that they made a fix, and Twitter should be working normally for all users.

This marks the second time in as many months that Twitter reported major outages.
