The Apple outages comes as multiple Meta users faced issues using WhatsApp, Facebook and Instagram earlier on Wednesday.

Downdetector reported around 82,000 incidents with WhatsApp, many of which were largely resolved within an hour.

Instagram experienced around 3,700 incidents while Facebook experienced about 1,800 for a couple of hours, according to Downdetector.

Apple says outage is resolved

Apple on Wednesday said it has resolved the App Store outage for its iOS and MacOS devices, CNBC reported.

The situation left many users confused wondering if they were the only ones affected.

"what’s going on why is the apple app store down?" one person wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

"Is anyone else having trouble loading the App Store or any of Apple’s apps, like Apple Music, TV+ or Podcasts?" another user wrote.
