You\u2019ll find these in official app stores like Google Play and the Mac App Store.<\/p>\n<p>If it\u2019s the web version that\u2019s giving you trouble, trying a different browser can help. It\u2019s always a good idea to have more than one web browser installed\u00a0for moments like this. You can try restarting the problem browser, clearing caches, or opening a private (or incognito) window and accessing Twitter that way too.<\/p>\n<h2 role=\"heading\" aria-level=\"2\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Try_a_Different_Connection_Type\"><\/span>Try a Different Connection Type<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Sometimes, your internet connection is to blame for flakey performance. Normally a connection problem would affect service as a whole, but sometimes specific services are affected.
