Apple recently faced issues with multiple applications, causing disruptions for many users, including delays in sending and receiving iMessages. The problem occurred around 5 p.m. Thursday, affecting a significant number of individuals.Over 13,000 Apple users reported problems with iMessage around 5:10 p.m., with the number of affected individuals decreasing to about 10,000 in the following 30 minutes.

Of those impacted, 76% encountered difficulties sending messages, while 20% faced challenges in receiving them. An additional 4% experienced general sluggishness on their devices.

Despite the widespread issues, Apple Support refrained from addressing the situation on social media. Nevertheless, the company's System Status chart on its official website highlighted concerns with iMessage, FaceTime, HomeKit, and Apple Messages for Business.

Shortly after the problem was identified, the statuses on the System Status chart transitioned from "Issue" to "Resolved Issue," indicating that the problems might have been rectified. However, Apple has yet to provide any official confirmation regarding the resolution.
