Apple Music outage confirmed in multiple countries [U: Fixed]

Update, 9:17 p.m. ET: Apple’s System Status page now marks the partial outage as resolved. The original post follows below.

Apple’s System Status pages in several countries are showing an ongoing Apple Music disruption. Here are the details.

Apple Music down for the third time in two months

Apple says that Apple Music has been down since 11:40 am E.T. in several countries, including Australia, Brazil, France, India, Italy, Japan, South Korea, Spain, the U.S., and beyond.

The company’s System Status pages for each country describe the issue as an “outage,” rather than the less serious “issue”designation, explaining that “some users are affected,” and that they “may be experiencing intermittent issues with this service.”

In practice, that means Apple Music may still be working for some people, but a partial outage definitely is causing problems for users around the world. The issue has also been reported on Downdetector, although reports seem to be trending down.

This is at least the third Apple Music outage in two months, including one partial outage that lasted for more than a day.

We’ll monitor the situation and update this post once the issue is resolved, or if Apple shares additional information.

Apple Music requires an active subscription. You can sign up for $10.99 per month, with 1 month free.
