How can I report a problem with iMessage?
Use the report panel on this page and pick what's not working — it takes one tap and no account. Reports are anonymous, and they feed the live signal on this page immediately.
How does down.now know if iMessage is down?
Down.Now watches two crowd signals for iMessage — anonymous reports submitted here, and public social-media posts about it — and compares the live volume against what's normal for that hour of the day. A sustained spike above that baseline opens an incident, which is usually visible before an official confirmation. We measure what users report, not iMessage's servers directly.
