What to Do During Twitter Outage

However, you need to remember that these troubleshooting tips are not 100% efficient, especially if the problems are on Twitter's side. 

But, there's no harm in trying these Twitter tips: 

• Try using incognito or other private browser windows. 
• Always check your internet connection. If ever you are using a VPN, try turning it off.
