Apple's iCloud and iMessage, some of the most important services for iPhone users, have turned janky, some users reveal.
Some folks are experiencing what appears to be an outage, preventing them from using these services. Others report they could access them, but iCloud and iMessage are slow.
Apple iCloud and iMessage Services are Down
According to a report by 9to5 Mac, some integral services of Apple, primarily iCloud and iMessage are inaccessible to some iPhone users. On top of the two, some reports from iPhone users point out that other services like iCloud, Shortcuts, and the Weather app also face the same issue.
It is worth noting that the Apple Weather app recently went offline for a couple of hours. Tech Times reported on April 4 that the outage affected some global users on various platforms, such as macOS, iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. In other words, the problem showed up in Mac and Apple Watch users, besides owners of iPhones and iPads.
9to5 Mac notes that while the renowned tech firm says that the Weather app issue has been resolved, current reports from users prove otherwise.
iPhone Users Complain About Possible Outage
iMessage is a go-to messaging platform for iPhone users. It allows them to communicate with other Apple users, which includes devices like Mac and iPad. But this time, sending or receiving a message on the Apple-owned messaging service has been a bit frustrating.
Some users say they are dealing with a slowdown in the platform, preventing them from replying to messages immediately. In other cases, they failed to receive text instantly. What's worse is that other users could no longer access the service due to what looks like an outage.
Some Twitter users are now saying that iCloud and iMessage are down. Others asked if anyone else was experiencing problems accessing the two services. Upon checking the Apple System Status website, it says that "all services are operating normally."
Other than that, it notes that it has resolved a single issue today, specifically iMessage. The page adds that "some users were affected" by the problem, which "may have been slow or unavailable."
Although some users say that iCloud and other services are grappling with possible outage issues, Apple has yet to acknowledge it. Instead, the System Status page clearly states that these services are "available."
Uncertainty surrounds Apple's current situation, but the company's servers are certainly experiencing severe challenges. This is the second time this week that the Weather app has been down, and other services are now affected. The company says nothing about when today's outage will be resolved.
