For nearly three decades, Apple customers have used the company’s online forums to troubleshoot devices and accounts. Apple has stopped new posts on the Apple Support Community and says the archive will remain viewable until the forum closes permanently on Nov. 20, 2026.

Apple to close its Support Community forums on Nov. 20, 2026

The site, at discussions.apple.com, switched to read-only on Tuesday. A notice on the forum says users can still find guidance through Apple’s official Support site and thanks community members for sharing their time and expertise.

The forum began in 1998 as the Apple Tech Exchange. According to MacRumors, it was renamed Apple Discussion in 2000, before Apple adopted the Apple Support Community name in 2022.

The final post appears to have been a request for help with an Apple account, published at 5:41 p.m. on Nov. 10. A reply followed at 5:49 p.m., minutes before Apple appears to have made the site read-only.

Apple reportedly told MacRumors it decided to sunset the forum “after a careful evaluation of strategy and customer needs.” The company recommends contacting its official support service for help with Apple products.
