Was there a Trump Twitter glitch?
- Published
Twitter says it's trying to fix "complications" with the switchover of the @Potus account.
The account for the President of the United States was handed over to Donald Trump on Friday and was supposed to keep its existing followers.
Those users were also meant to automatically follow a new archive account with the Obama administration's tweets - @Potus44.
But some claim they've not been moved over.
Others say they stopped following @Potus before the inauguration, but are now re-following the account even though they didn't choose to do so.

There are even claims some people who never followed Obama or Trump are automatically following Donald Trump as @Potus.

The White House had been working with Twitter on plans for the switchover for some time.
Before the inauguration on Thursday night, @Potus under Barack Obama had 13.6 million followers.
@Potus44 now has 14.2 million and @Potus under President Trump has 14.3 million.
It's unclear if it's down to new followers or a glitch.

It's been reported Twitter blames the complications on two scenarios.
It could be that those who blocked @Potus before the inauguration effectively blocked @Potus44 (because of workings going on behind the scenes at Twitter).
Another suggestion is that some unfollowed @Potus after Twitter had already counted them as a follower to be transferred over to Donald Trump's account.
Confusing, right?
Twitter previously told Newsbeat both @Potus and @Potus44 should end up with around 13 million followers after the transfer process. This may not account for new followers to both accounts.
The switchover took some time overnight with followers dropping on both accounts at first.
Meanwhile Donald Trump changed the image at the top of his new @Potus account after Twitter users spotted it was from Barack Obama's 2009 inauguration.

Several other accounts have also been switched over including @Flotus for Melania Trump and @WhiteHouse from @ObamaWhiteHouse.
It's not known if they're affected.
