Twitter users reported issues with the social media website on Thursday as the company was hit by widespread outage.

According to DownDetector’s Twitter outage map major problems were being experienced across the world, with more than 53,000 complaints at 2.45pm PT.

Users in the UK, America and Australia were among those seeing issues.

“Something is technically wrong. Thanks for noticing—we're going to fix it up and have things back to normal soon,” Twitter reads on its own blog.

The company added that  there was no evidence that the outage was caused by a security breach or hack.

The outage comes just a day after the social media giant received heavy criticism from Donald Trump for slowing down the spread of the controversial Hunter Biden emails story.

Earlier this summer Twitter suffered a major hack of high-profile, including Kanye West, Jeff Bezos, Apple, Elon Musk and Joe Biden.

The hack, which took place on July 15, targeted 130 accounts.

Twitter has now posted that the outage is under investigation.

“Investigating Irregularity with Twitter APIs,” the company wrote on its Twitter status page.

"We know people are having trouble Tweeting and using Twitter. We’re working to fix this issue as quickly as possible," said a Twitter spokesman.
