Apple's iMessage fails to work for thousands of customers around the world

Apple's iMessage is down for multiple users across the world. 

Thousands of iPhone users reported they have been impacted by the outage on Thursday evening. 

Concerned Apple customers have shared frustrations of not being able to send a blue bubble message, which requires an internet connection, on X.

In a matter of minutes, 'iMessage' was trending on X with almost 20,000 users asking if others were experiencing similar trouble. 

'I thought my phone was broken and whole time iMessage was down,' one person shared.

'So everybody iMessage is just acting up…wonderful,' said another. 

Others were quick to make jokes about going back to using other platforms, such as MSN Messenger. 

'Me going to Twitter to see if only my iMessage is down,' one person wrote. 

'Me and the homies using slack to communicate right now because iMessage is down,' said one more.

The outage has affected people across all cell carriers in the US, with some reporting brief outage while others said they were facing prolonged issues. 

As of 6.55pm, iMessage is active once again and users are now able to easily send texts. 

DailyMail.com has approached Apple for comment.

Two weeks ago, Google had also been hit with a worldwide outage that impacted thousands of users.

Users in the US, the UK, Australia, parts of Europe, South America and Asia reported problems with the tech giant's services but soon the search-engine giant was back online.
