Twitter users in New Zealand and Australia are reporting the platform being slow or completely down.

On the website Downdetector, reports of Twitter being down spiked for Kiwis and Aussies at 11am NZT on Wednesday.

Users are reporting error messages, their feed not refreshing and an inability to publish new tweets, while for some the Twitter website is failing to load completely.

It's just the latest issue to hit the troubled social media platform, which was famously sold to outspoken billionaire Elon Musk in 2022.

But unlike another recent outage of the platform, the latest appears to have only hit users in Australia and Aotearoa, according to Downdetector's other country specific pages.

The website Aussie Service Down also logged issues, as reported by Gizmodo.

Twitter has not commented on the latest outage.
