Twitter has gone through probably one of the most turbulent years since the platform’s conception, and it’s not getting better. There’s a new Twitter bug that’s randomly logging people out of their accounts, according to Downdetector.
Twitter is no stranger to bugs and outages. In fact, no social media platform is immune to these types of things. In Twitter’s case, this sort of calamity is not what the company needs at this point, as Elon’s Crusade continues.
A Twitter bug is logging people out of their accounts
This seems to be a bit random, as most of the people affected are using Twitter for the desktop. So, this might be mostly specific to that platform. An Android headlines user was affected by this bug on the Twitter website; however, their account was accessible from the app.
People are, unfortunately, being logged out of their accounts for no apparent reason. What makes the situation worse is that they’re having trouble logging back in. When trying to access the Twitter log in page, these unfortunate users will keep being redirected to the sign-in page. After a while, they usually will just be sent to the Twitter homepage.
This is an extremely frustrating issue to have. At this point, Twitter has yet to acknowledge this issue, but we hope that the company does soon. In any case, if you are having trouble logging into your Twitter account, then you may be stuck using your phone until it’s over.
Fortunately, issues like these tend to only last a few hours. So some of you may just want to sit tight and wait for the functionality to return. You may want to check back every so often and try logging into your Twitter account.
If Twitter is slow to act on this, it may be understandable seeing as the company is dealing with yet another bug on the platform. This bug seems to arbitrarily reassign the verification check mark to legacy accounts after taking them away not too long ago. This is temporary, so if your check mark was returned, it will very well disappear again.
