Apple Music, iCloud, iMessage, and more are all down right now
What you need to know
Apple’s services are currently experiencing an outage.
Apple Music, Maps, and more are down.
It isn’t just you!
A number of Apple services including Apple Music, Apple Maps, and more are down right now.
While we’ve been able to confirm that Apple Music and Maps are definitely experiencing issues, Apple’s own Service Status page isn’t showing any outage. However, Down Detector does highlight that people are reporting issues across a range of Apple services.
Notably, it doesn’t appear that everyone is experiencing the same issues. While some report that iMessage is unavailable for them, others are having no issues sending and receiving messages. Apple Music does appear to be the worst impacted so far, while iCloud Photo Library is also proving troublesome for those who use it.
Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman reports that many of Apple’s internal systems are also affected, potentially preventing retail stores from functioning as they normally would.
In addition to Apple’s online services – Music, Maps, Podcasts and more facing outages — I’m told Apple’s corporate and retail internal systems are down too, limiting remote work and retail operations like product pick-ups and repairs.

Other potentially impacted services include Apple TV+, Apple News, and even the Apple Support framework. Some Apple Card users also report issues, too.
