(Bloomberg) — Apple Inc.’s iMessage and FaceTime services are working again, the company said, after an outage on Tuesday drew thousands of complaints from users.
Reports on Downdetector and Twitter had indicated that iMessage and FaceTime stopped working in some cases around noon Eastern time. Customers saw some messages not going through or not coming in, according to the complaints.
Users also registered complaints about their wireless carriers, including Verizon Communications Inc., T-Mobile US Inc. and AT&T Inc. But reports of outages died down within about half an hour.
Apple said on its status page that the iMessage and FaceTime disruptions were resolved by 12:15 p.m. Eastern time.
Earlier on Tuesday, Meta Platforms Inc.’s WhatsApp saw a widepsread outage. That problem was the result of a technical error, the company said.
