What to do when iCloud is down
  • Files stored locally on your Apple devices are still accessible — only cloud sync and iCloud Drive access are affected during an outage.
  • Avoid starting a new device backup or restore during an iCloud outage as it may fail or corrupt the backup.
  • Check Apple's system status page at apple.com/support/systemstatus for per-service iCloud status.
  • Report the outage on this page to help other users confirm the problem.
Common iCloud outage causes

iCloud outages often affect specific services independently — Photos, Drive, Mail, and Backup run on separate infrastructure. Major iOS release days cause massive backup and activation traffic that can degrade iCloud performance.
