Users had earlier complained of not being able to send and receive text messages on iMessage and some reported problems with placing FaceTime calls.

More than 2,000 users reported issues with sending messages on the app, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.

Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources including user-submitted errors on its platform. The outage may be affecting a larger number of users.

Earlier on Tuesday, Meta Platforms Inc’s WhatsApp faced a global outage, which was later resolved.
