No, Twitter is not shutting down & here's why you shouldn't believe the rumors

Here’s the crux of the article in video form:

Twitter is a popular social media app serving millions of users since 2006. However, in recent days, there has been a significant amount of discussion about problems on Twitter.

Users have reported issues such as not receiving notifications, search functionality not working, and the introduction of a new Twitter policy where an account is required to view tweets.

The new policy reportedly broke embeds in apps like Discord. Additionally, there has been a noticeable decline in the number of Twitter results appearing in Google searches.

These factors, combined with the recent release of Instagram’s Threads, a direct competitor to Twitter, have sparked a debate about the possible shutdown of Twitter.

Many users have been discussing about Twitter shutting down. Here are some reports for reference:

Can’t keep up with 2 community apps. Reason why I ignored FB. I don’t have snapchat & TikTok. Business made me active on IG. Naa to just post and pray for customer there. My love for Twitter is real. I made genuine friends here ❤️ If Elon no shutdown Twitter, I’m here to stay (Source)

lol Good If that ever becomes necessary… meanwhile it’s just the same baseless panic as last winter, same outcome. Twitter ain’t shutting down anytime soon. (Source)

While some genuinely believe (1, 2, 3, 4, 5) that a shutdown is imminent or at least see it as a possibility, others (1, 2, 3, 4) consider it an exaggeration based on previous instances where similar rumors have circulated.

It is important to note that, currently, there is absolutely no official information or evidence to suggest that Twitter is shutting down.

Furthermore, Twitter is actively addressing user concerns and working on resolving the ongoing issues such as broken embeds in other apps.

Also, they are quietly backtracking on some unpopular changes like the need for a Twitter account to view tweets which should help them regain reach on Google.

Therefore, until there is an official announcement from the company, users can continue to use and enjoy Twitter without getting worried about its shutdown.

Rest assured, we will keep you updated on any new information as it becomes available.
