Apple has been granted a patent for “Sticker Creation for Messaging.” It involves, of course, the company’s Messages app.

As noted by MacRumors, some users are experiencing issues with iMessage and FaceTime, according to Apple’s system status page.

Some users are “experiencing a problem” with iMessage and FaceTime, the page says. Apple says it is “investigating” and will provide a status update when possible. The issues began shortly after 5 a.m. Pacific Time, according to Apple.

As of 9:40 (Central), Apple says the issues have been resolved.
