Customers attempting to access the online shopping platform were greeted with a notification stating, “We are currently experiencing technical difficulties, but our team is working on resolving the issue. We apologize for any inconvenience and kindly ask that you try again later.”

I appreciate your patience.

Another user of X reported, “I am unable to access the app or website to complete my shopping.”

Shortly after 9pm, DownDetector website recorded a surge in reports of a Tesco outage.
