However, the company fixed the "trouble" that many iOS users experienced earlier. The company tweeted from its @TwitterSupport account: "Pardon the interruption! iOS users may have experienced some trouble using Twitter earlier. Things should be back to normal now."

Earlier on February 24 also global users reported not being able to open Twitter on their mobile devices. The tracking site downdetector.in had seen a major spike on Feb 19 from midnight to 2.00 Am. Twitter was down for over 2 hours in many parts of the world.
