Some users were shown a message running on their timeline, saying: "Something went wrong"

The micro-blogging platform Twitter on Wednesday evening went down in most parts of the world including in India, according to the website tracking portal DownDetector.

Some users were unable to see and share tweets on both mobile and web, with a message running on their timeline: "Something went wrong."

Some users received the message: "Cannot retrieve tweets at this time. Please try again later"."

Some of the Twitter users were able to tweet but could not view tweets and messages.

Twitter was crashed on all platforms: Android, iOS and web.

The company was yet to issue a statement on the reason behind the outage.
