Whatsapp is back online, but now Apple seems to be having its own problems, with the App Store, Apple TV, Apple Podcasts, Apple Music and more all down, it seems to be a very bad day for the internet.
According to DownDetector, one of IGN’s sister sites, reports of outages started spiking around 3 p.m. Pacific Time and have remained high ever since. The App Store thus became a trending topic on X/Twitter.

Apple’s system status page says: “Users are experiencing issues using this service. We are investigating and will update the status as more information becomes available.”
The outage appears to have affected nearly all of Apple’s services, including services like Arcade and Books. In short, those who rely on Apple’s “walled garden” may have to wait and see what happens, and maybe even put their iPhone on hold for a while.
It’s unclear what the reason behind these outages is or if they are in any way related to each other, but internet infrastructure is unstable at the best of times. We will continue to add updates to this article.
