Today, there was a small outage for iMessage which some users experienced some issues with delivering their iMessages.

It has been a while since iMessage or iCloud have ran into a issue, but according to a growing number of users, the streak has been ended.
According to scattered reports via Twitter and other Social Media websites, iMessage users are experiencing outage issues that are ranging in error messages. Some are getting indications that their message just simply failed to be delivered, while others are automatically switching over to text messages that are being successfully delivered.

Some are saying that, even with iMessage saying that a message failed to be delivered, it was actually delivered just fine, and the person was able to reply with iMessage as well.
At the time of publishing, Apple’s service status page is not indicating that there are any outages.
Have you experienced issues with iMessage today, or are you still experiencing problems?
