Is iCloud down right now? Live status and outage tracker

iCloud outages and problems

In the past 24 hours, 60 user reports came in for iCloud. Counting only the 15-minute windows with a spike big enough to count as an outage, that comes to 100.00% uptime for the day.

The busiest 15-minute window had 4 reports, about 19 hours ago. That stays below our outage threshold, so it doesn't count as downtime.

How to fix iCloud not working

iCloud is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:

1. Check Apple's system status page

   Open https://www.apple.com/support/systemstatus/ in any browser and look at the iCloud row. If Apple reports an outage, no setting on your device will fix it, so wait for the service to come back. If the row is green, the problem is on your end and you can move to the next step.

2. Test your connection

   Turn Airplane Mode on for about ten seconds, turn it off, then reopen the app that failed. Load another website in Safari on the same Wi-Fi. If that stalls too, the network is the problem rather than Apple's servers, so switch to cellular data or a different network. A hotel or cafe Wi-Fi that needs a sign in page will block sync until you accept it.

3. Check your storage

   Open Settings, tap your name, tap iCloud, then tap Manage Account Storage. A full account stops photos, device backups and documents from syncing. Photos shows a warning and Settings shows a banner. Delete old backups or large attachments you no longer need, or pay for more space.

4. Sign out and back in

   Go to Settings, tap your name, scroll down, tap Sign Out, then sign back in with your Apple Account password and the two-factor code. Signing out removes local copies of synced data from the device, so save anything you have not backed up elsewhere. On a Mac, the same option sits in System Settings under your name. If only one feature breaks, such as Notes or Contacts, turn that switch off in iCloud settings, wait a minute, and turn it back on.

While iCloud is down: what to use instead

• iCloud on the web If your iPhone or Mac stops syncing but Apple's servers still answer, sign in from any browser to read Mail, Notes, Photos and iCloud Drive files directly.
• AirDrop Move photos and files between nearby Apple devices without going through the cloud.
• Finder or iTunes backup When iCloud Backup keeps failing, plug your iPhone into a Mac and back it up in Finder, or use iTunes on a Windows PC.
• Google Drive or Dropbox Upload a file there when a shared link won't open and someone is waiting on it.

Problems at the same time as iCloud

Since 6 October, all 2 of iCloud's spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.

When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

A spike is a sharp rise in problem reports from users, as the live pages showed it. Times are Central European time.

When people report iCloud problems

The busiest hour for reports about iCloud is 21:00 to 22:00 Central European time, and the busiest day is Thursday.

Each bar is the average number of user reports in that hour, or on that day of the week, from 24 days of reports since 5 October 2026. The busiest bar is highlighted. Spikes in reports are left out, so one outage does not set the pattern.
