How to fix Sign in with Apple not working
Sign in with Apple 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:
Your browser tries to reach apple.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Check Apple System Status
Apple System Status is the first place to look. If it lists an issue with Sign in with Apple, wait and try again later; this site's report level shows if user problem reports are above their usual level, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours, and it does not ping or probe the service.
Fix the device clock
A wrong clock can break Apple ID sign-in. On iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap General, then Date & Time, and turn on Set Automatically; the app may fail before it reaches the sign-in screen.
Sign out and sign back in
Open the app or website and go to its account settings. Sign out, then choose Sign in with Apple again and pick Share My Email or Hide My Email.
Remove and reconnect the app
Reset the app's link to your Apple ID. On iPhone or iPad, go to Settings, tap your name, then Sign-In & Security, then Apps Using Apple ID; tap the app and tap Stop Using Apple ID, then open the app and sign in with Apple again. If it still fails, use Apple Support.
While Sign in with Apple is down: what to use instead
- Email and password Use the service's regular sign-in form if it offers an account password separate from Apple.
- Sign in with Google Choose this option if the service links your account to Google instead.
- Email sign-in link Request a one-time link if the service supports passwordless email access.
- Existing browser session Open the website or app on a device where you are already signed in.

What happens when Sign in with Apple goes down
Sign in with Apple is Apple's login button for other apps and websites on iPhone, iPad, Mac, and the web. You use your Apple ID to sign in or create an account, sometimes with Hide My Email as a relay, so an outage can block new logins and account creation for people who chose it as their only way into an app.
The sign-in sheet may spin, then close before you reach the app. Apps that need a fresh identity token for new accounts often break first, while existing sessions keep working until that token expires. If you use Hide My Email, creating an account with a relay address can stop halfway, and you may get a generic message saying the operation could not be completed. Problems are often partial: one app can break while another works, and one region can fail while others sign in fine.

How we track Sign in with Apple
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Sign in with Apple, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Sign in with Apple, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Sign in with Apple's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
