SAN FRANCISCO – Apple resolved issues that had caused a brief outage with its music services, the iPhone-maker said early on Tuesday.
Users had earlier complained of not being able to stream Apple Music, while also reporting issues with several other services of the company.
More than 3,300 users reported issues with streaming Apple Music at the peak of the outage and nearly 2,200 reported problems with App Store in the United States, according to outage tracking website Downdetector.
Apple’s status page indicated that outage issues with Apple Music, Apple Music Radio, Apple News and iTunes Match had been “resolved”.
Downdetector showed a reduction in reports from users experiencing issues with Apple’s support services and App Store.
Apple did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment regarding the cause of the outage or whether other services were affected as indicated by Downdetector.
Downdetector tracks outages by collating status reports from several sources, including user-submitted errors, on its platform. The outage may be affecting a larger number of users. REUTERS
