Apple's iMessage Service Experiencing Issues [Update: Resolved]

[MacRumors]

If you're currently having trouble sending iMessages to friends and family, you're not alone. Apple's iMessage service appears to be experiencing some kind of outage that is preventing messages from being delivered.

There are multiple complaints about the iMessage outage on Twitter, and MacRumors can confirm that we too are experiencing problems in our Messages testing. In some cases, messages are not being delivered at all, and in other cases, images are not going through.

Apple's System Status page is not reflecting an outage at this time, but various Apple services saw hours-long outages earlier this week.

Update 2:25 p.m. PT: Apple's System Status page suggests that the issue has now been resolved and iMessage is again functional.

Update 3:42 p.m. PT: Apple's System Status page is once again reflecting an issue with iMessage.

Update 4:13 p.m. PT: Apple's system status page says the iMessage outage has been fixed.

Wow rough week for Apple

Yikes! Third outage this week. What is going on with Apple? Or is this a cyber attack related to the war in Ukraine?

Any Apple services can go down but if iMessage goes down for a few hours... I can't even imagine the amount of first-world frustration that would cause.

Good thing it has something modern to fall back on, like RCS. Right, Tim?

You mean like clicking the failed delivery and choosing the option to send as SMS?

 

[SactoGuy18]

But can you still send and receive SMS?

I believe that one is in Revelations: texting disruption, then Locusts, then 4 Horseman.

No time to debug code when there's all this cash to clean & press.

I’ve had intermittent imessage issues for a few days. Always been bullet proof so assumed it was my phone, I wonder if it’s connected to the other outages they’ve had?

 

[winxmac]

A bit unrelated but still an Apple service, I don't get it why even though I have a good internet connection and I am able to get a download speed of 4MB/s using a Windows computer but downloading from App Store these past few days takes several minutes for an app update...

Curious to know if this is due to Apple’s horrible infrastructure naturally failing or if it’s cyber warfare. You don’t have these kind of outages with Gmail, FaceBook, Twitter, etc. when you do, the world practically stops.

There's always Android

 

[Reggaenald]

Here come the „Muh Russia Putin uhhh“ comments.
What’s the deal with all the Akamai problems lately though? It’s really worrying, does anyone have a tweet or article to share?

 

[ct2k7]

There's always Android

its messaging system isn't centralised?

 

[antiprotest]

I am not even going to complain anymore. So that's it.

Oh.... wait...

Yep…

money != competency

It’s a very odd thing to happen…

You’re kidding, right?

Apple is so arrogrant and they never appology for their mistakes!!

 

[fontman]

Well that's nothing new here moving on

iMessage working fine here. But have not been able to share iCloud Notes due to a "server error".
