An Apple outage is affecting iMessage, Apple Music, iCloud, and other services

Many Apple services appear to be experiencing outages and problems right now. On Downdetector, Apple Music, Apple Maps, iCloud, the App Store, iMessage, and Apple TV are all among the services that people are reporting problems with. Among The Verge staff, we’re experiencing scattered problems with iMessage and other key services, although the problems aren’t impacting everyone equally.

Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman is also reporting that Apple’s corporate and retail systems are down as well, and on the r/sysadmin subreddit, some are reporting that they can’t get into Apple’s business manager portal. A tweet from WhatsAppBetaInfo reveals that the problems can even affect other apps, for example trying to back up your chat history to iCloud.

Apple’s status page is currently showing that “all services are operating normally.” The company did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
