Many people reporting that Twitter is down and are receiving a Cannot retrieve Tweets at this time error. It’s causing confusion for a lot of people and is making it incredibly difficult to use the app. Here’s what we know about the Twitter servers being down and any fixes available for the issue.
What is the Twitter cannot retrieve tweets at this time error?
When you get the “Cannot retrieve tweets at this time” error message on Twitter, it means that tweets aren’t fully loading, and neither are GIFs. It also means that you can’t see any replies on any tweet, and replying to tweets has become a lot harder. On the desktop version, this appears as ‘Something went wrong. Try reloading,’ and reloading the page makes no change other than that error popping up again.
Of course, as with any error, people are wondering exactly if there’s a way to fix this error and sadly, there’s not. Twitter has been falling apart recently, and with the announcement today that two-factor authentication will only be available to Twitter Blue subscribers, it’s possible that something related to this change has caused Twitter to break.
