We've lost visual: Apple confirms FaceTime and iMessage outages

We've lost visual: Apple confirms FaceTime and iMessage outages

Apple's System Status website confirms issues

Users of Apple's iMessage and FaceTime applications for iOS and Mac OS X are experiencing downtime, the company has confirmed.

Following a host of complaints from users on social media, the company has updated its System Status website to confirm an issue with both apps, which it said is only affecting "some users"

Many iMessage users are unable to send messages at all, while iPhone users have claimed that the usual Apple-to-Apple free messaging service is defaulting to regular text messages over cellular networks.

Some FaceTime users are reporting that they're currently unable to make calls, rendering the service useless.

No resolution yet

According to the company, which has not offered a reason for the outage, the issues began shortly around 8pm UK time on Tuesday evening (3pm EST)

At the time of writing, a couple of hours later, the issue has yet to be resolved.

TechRadar has reached out to Apple for an update and will update this story when a response is forthcoming.
