User reports complaining of iMessage outages on Downdetector.com started climbing shortly after 4:20 p.m. ET, and later hit over 1,100, according to a report from Reuters.

The company was hit with similar outages earlier this week that knocked off services like its mobile App Store and music streaming service. Apple did not respond to a request for comment on the reasons for the recent outages, the report further added.

"Apple`s corporate staff working from home and retail workers also faced tech issues on Monday due to domain name system (DNS) issues, according to Bloomberg News," Reuters reported.

Many such technical snags were reported last year including issues with DNS - an address book of the internet which enables computers to match website addresses with the correct server, caused widespread outages on social media platforms including Facebook and Instagram, and brought down websites of airlines and banks for several hours, the report noted.
