Some 13,642 outage reports were made on Downdetector.com as of just after 6 p.m. Eastern time.

Despite the reports, Apple’s system status page still lists iMessage as operating normally as of shortly before 6:30 p.m. Eastern time.

Users on X, formerly known as Twitter, rushed to the platform to confirm the issue and voice complaints, boosting iMessage into the No. 1 spot on X’s trending topics.

Apple did not immediately respond to Forbes’ request for comment.
