New York: The problems that Twitter users experienced earlier on Monday have been caused by an unusually high number of people using the social media company's services after a score of US social media platforms, including Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp, went down.

"Sometimes more people than usual use Twitter. We prepare for these moments, but today things didn’t go exactly as planned. Some of you may have had an issue seeing replies and DMs as a result. This has been fixed. Sorry about that!" Twitter said on its platform on Monday.

Meanwhile, Facebook chief Mark Zuckerberg on Monday night said 'sorry' to the users of the popular social media platform as they went down for several hours.

Apart from Facebook, Whatsapp and Instagram also went down on Monday as people were unable to access them.

In his Facebook post, Mark wrote: "Facebook, Instagram, WhatsApp and Messenger are coming back online now. Sorry for the disruption today -- I know how much you rely on our services to stay connected with the people you care about."
