It wasn’t just your iPhone: Global outage hit Apple users’ iMessage last night
NY Post
It’s not you, it’s Apple.
If you didn’t get a text back yesterday, it’s because iMessage was down for about an hour.
Just after 6 p.m. Thursday evening, over 14,000 iMessage outages were reported, according to outage tracker Downdetector.
Some users received a “Not Delivered” message when trying to use the app, and others were forced to send a non-iMessage text with the dreaded green bubble instead.
Apple’s official System Status tracker marked the iMessage issue as “resolved” at around 7:30 p.m. Thursday, noting that some users were unable to use the service between 5:49 p.m. and 6:35 p.m.
The tracker also stated that users were having issues with Apple Messages for Business and FaceTime.
