Apple’s Weather app is down and experienced a widespread outage on Tuesday, April 28 afternoon.
This prevents millions of iPhone users from checking current forecasts and temperature data.
The first outage reports began around 11:36 a.m. ET, as noted by Apple’s System Status page.
The company confirmed that the app “may be slow or unavailable.” For now, the outage persists.
In the United States, users have taken to X (formerly Twitter) and Reddit to report problems, with many reporting that the app almost never faced an outage.
Despite the fact that Apple’s official page confirmed that Weather was working correctly even hours after receiving several complaints, Apple later admitted that there were problems. It appears that the issue is sporadic and affects different users to varying degrees.
DownDetector, which monitors service outages, reported an abnormal increase in complaints about The Weather Channel app and Apple Support. It is important to note that DownDetector and Mashable operate under the ownership of Ziff Davis.
The problems experienced by The Weather Channel may be behind the problems experienced by Apple Weather, which uses information from other companies.
