Apple appears to have suffered a massive outage today (Monday) with users reporting problems accessing the App store, iCloud and iMessage.
Down Detector, a website which monitors reported outages, says thousands of people are struggling to access their email accounts and files, as well as the iCloud website. Users also logged problems with Find my iPhone, Apple Maps, iTunes and iMessage.
People are struggling to send messages, especially those that include photos. It is currently unclear what is causing the issues. The problems began being flagged at around 4.20pm on Monday.

A number of people have taken to Twitter to share their experiences. One user, called Dorothie, said: "imessage being down is crazy".
Darryl said: "Is it just me or does there seem to be an issue with @apple ’s #iCloud at the moment?" Courtney Andros said: "So, iMessage is apparently broken? Couldn’t send a message earlier so I turned it off and now it won’t activate back on either my personal or work phone. That’s fun"
Colin said: "I try to move items either to delete or file - each time for past hour this has been reversed after a pause within icloud app on mac."
