iMessage not working? What to check
iMessage is Apple's messaging service in the Messages app on iPhone, iPad and Mac. Messages sent as green bubbles go by SMS instead, through your mobile carrier.
Common iMessage error messages
"Not Delivered"
The message could not be sent; check the network. If many people see it, iMessage itself has a problem.
"Waiting for activation"
iMessage has not finished activating on this device - usually the carrier or SMS verification, not an outage.
If the status above is green but iMessage still fails
- Switch iMessage off and on in Settings - Messages.
- Try Wi-Fi and mobile data separately.
- If only one contact fails, they may have switched off iMessage or changed phones.

Questions about iMessage outages
Is iMessage down right now?
No. The official iMessage status page reports all systems operational (checked 1 min ago, 4 Nov 2026, 23:55 UTC).
Is iMessage down for everyone or just me?
Most likely just you or your network: iMessage's own status page reports no problem, no visitor of this page reported a problem in the last hour. You can add your own report with the buttons at the top of this page.
Why is iMessage not working for me?
iMessage reports no problem, so the cause is most likely on your side or in between: check your internet connection, VPN or proxy, DNS, browser extensions and cache, or try another network or device. Also check services that many apps rely on, such as Cloudflare or the big clouds.
How often does iMessage have outages?
iMessage has not published any incident recently on its status page.
When was the last iMessage outage?
iMessage has not reported an incident recently.
Where is the official iMessage status page?
At https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ - this page reads it every 2 minutes and shows its status, components and incidents in one place.
How we know
Broken Today reads the official iMessage status page every 2 minutes. When iMessage reports degraded performance, an outage or maintenance, this page changes within a few minutes. Incidents the vendor leaves open without any update for over 14 days are shown but not counted.
