Reports of the issue appear to have slowed down as of 1 p.m. EST. Apple has yet to respond to or confirm the outage reports.

The issues with iMessage follow WhatsApp’s global outage earlier in the day when more than 5,000 users reported issues with the app. However, Meta confirmed the app has since been restored, with a spokesperson telling CNN, “We know people had trouble sending messages on WhatsApp today. We’ve fixed the issue and apologize for any inconvenience.”
