Paul - Imessage did not send 2 messages in the last hour. The one's that did go through turned green, instead of blue.

Lilly - Last night I was sending a long paragraph, and they didn't see the message even though it said, "Sent as SMS." A few minutes ago, I tried sending a recipe I copy/pasted to my mom (also a long message) and it wouldn't send to her. My friend also had the same problem this morning with her boyfriend..

The integration allows us to provide more details about Apple's Outages, like incident title, description, updates, and the parts of the affected service. Additionally, users can create internal status pages and set up notifications for all their third-party services.
