OUR BLOG. IT HAS NOW CLOSED._ 03:53KEY EVENT AROUND 3,000 NETFLIX USERS ENCOUNTER CHALLENGES IN THE UK A further approximate 3,000 Netflix users in the UK have, in the last hour or so,

experienced challenges wth the app. DownDetector's map shows these were reported across the country. Again, the majority concern streaming issues but others have had trouble with

navigating the website. 03:49Bradley Jolly NETFLIX ENCOURAGES USERS TO REPORT ISSUES We have contacted Netflix for a comment. Words on a general page on its website read: "We strive to

bring you TV shows and movies you want to watch, whenever you want to watch them, but on very rare occasions we do experience a service outage. If we are experiencing an interruption to our

streaming service, we'll keep this page up to date with a description of the problem. STILL EXPERIENCING AN ISSUE? "If your issue isn't displayed above, search our Help Center

for the error code or issue you're experiencing." 03:39Bradley Jolly FUNNY GIFS AND MEMES EMERGE ACROSS SOCIAL MEDIA People might be frustrated but they've also seen humour

in the situation. Many have posted GIFs and memes repesenting what they believe Netflix is doing now to desperately solve the challenges. One meme shows a man appearing confused as he

examines a cabinet of switches, wires and plugs. One GIF depicts a subdued man slowly moving a computer mouse to, seemingly, no joy. > Of course Netflix is down when I want to watch

experienced issues, particularly with streaming content. This was at around 2.20am in the UK (9.20pm on Thursday in New York City and Washington DC, and 6.30pm in Los Angeles for instance).

Most of these cases were in eastern parts of the US, Downdetector shows. 03:23Bradley Jolly WHAT EXACTLY IS THE PROBLEM? Users say "nothing will play" on Netflix. When they attempt

to put on their favourite series or film, an error message appears, saying content is unavailable. Netflix is understood to be investigating the glitch. "Is the F1 Academy Netflix show

just gone??? Looked on both the website and the app and can’t find it," one Netflix fan posted on X. > So Netflix is down pic.twitter.com/OHygZBYVIS > — V :) (@vpenaa_) May 30,
