Meanwhile, multiple users have been lamenting their inability to use Mail for the previous few hours on Twitter, in the meantime. Additionally, hundreds of reports of iCloud-related problems have been submitted to DownDetector, which supports the claim that the outage is widespread.
One Twitter user asked if “anyone [else’s iCloud Mail is] not loading for them.”
Another tweet, which tagged the official account of Apple Support, asks if “anyone else [is] having issues with [iCloud Mail]. The user adds, “I [can’t] get mine to work.”
The official Twitter page of Apple Support responded, saying that “At this time, some iCloud mail users may be unable to receive messages.”
iCloud is a cloud service from Apple launched on October 12, 2011, as a successor to MobileMe. From 782 million users in 2016 to an expected 850 million users in 2018, the service has seen growth.
