Many users commented that the Twitter app was down on only Andriod handsets. Some claimed Twitter was not working for Jio users and hence it was not an outage of Twitter as thhe app was working on some network and was down on some other. One Twitter user claimed Twitter was working fine with VPN connection.

The reported outage took place a day before the relaunch of Twitter Blue on December 12, at a higher price for Apple users. The revamped service will allow subscribers to edit tweets, upload 1080p videos and get a blue tick after their verification.
