Thousands of Apple device users reported experiencing issues while using iMessage on Thursday afternoon.
Over 13,000 iMessage outages were reported as of just after 6 p.m. ET, according to outage tracker Downtector.
Some users reported receiving a "Not Delivered" message while using the app. Others said they had to opt to send a non-iMessage text with a green bubble instead.
Apple's online System Status tracker briefly said iMessage was experiencing an issue around 7:00 p.m. ET.
USA TODAY was unable to reach Apple for comment, but the company marked the issue resolved around 7:30 p.m., stating that today between 5:49 p.m. and 6:35 p.m. some users were unable to use this service.
Users quickly flocked to social media platforms to share their experiences being unable to use the communication platform.
Many shared memes on X (formerly Twitter) quipping about their immediate instinct to check social media to ensure they weren't the only ones unable to use iMessage.
