Over two thousand users have reported they were unable to access the service on Thursday. Meanwhile, the service appears to be working normally in India, with a small spike of over 600 user reports of being unable to access Twitter. Gadgets 360 was able to access the service, and Twitter's status page does not show any issues with the service.

On Thursday, Netblocks, a group that monitors intentional downtime of online services and the Internet, stated that Twitter was experiencing international outages for many users following the news that Queen Elizabeth II had passed away. The group also stated that the downtime was not related to any country-level disruption or filtering.
