Twitter service has been temporarily suspended in many countries of the world, but work is under way to restore it.

The Twitter administration informed users in their tweet that Twitter and TweetDeck were suspended due to a technical error, saying the users may face difficulty in tweeting, receiving notifications or reading direct messages.

We've been experiencing outages across Twitter and TweetDeck. You might have had trouble Tweeting, getting notifications, or viewing DMs. We're currently working on a fix, and should be back to normal soon.

The administration added that work on this technical error is underway and it will be fixed soon.

More than 4,000 complaints of Twitter’s technical malfunction have been received from several countries, including Japan, Canada and India, according to a Twitter monitoring website report.

Earlier, the Twitter administration had told Reuters that the company was working on a technical problem with TweetDeck, used mostly by journalists and content creators.

Users who were trying to log in to the TweetDeck were opening the Twitter page instead of TweetDeck.
