Apple has always been lauded for its stellar customer service, but to chat with a live Apple agent you’ll have to go through a few steps first.

There you go. Now you know how to initiate a chat session with an Apple Support agent from any device.

When you start a chat session, your browser will open a new window for the chat. If you close it accidentally, you’ll have to go through the above steps all over again to chat with the agent. Wait time for the chat session is usually about 2 minutes or less, but this could vary depending on the time of the day.

Alternatively, you can talk to a live agent at Apple by calling Apple’s Technical Support number directly at 1-800-275-2273. Use this number if you’re impatient and you want to immediately talk to a human. Or, you can dial 1-800-692-7753 (1-800-MY-APPLE) and press 0 repeatedly if you don’t want to talk to the automated voice.

Chatting or talking to an actual person at Apple Support is usually the fastest way to resolve an issue you couldn’t successfully troubleshoot on your own, or with the help of third party sites and resources. Apple support reps are usually really helpful and well-trained, and should be able to assist you quickly.

Finally, it’s worth remembering that if you want to reach Apple support, you should make sure to do so directly through Apple.com, through Apple phone numbers, or through an Apple authorized support center.

We hope you were able to quickly get in touch with an Apple Support agent without much trouble. What problem are you facing with your device? Were you able to resolve it by talking to Apple? Share your valuable thoughts and experience in the comments section down below.

    Having problems with MacBook air, forgot password and will not let me reset it. Getting very frustrated and uuugh! This was recommended to me it is refurbished. I also have an itunes account and cannot get to that too I have over 1,000 dollars in music and movies in that account. I do not have an iPhone so what are my options ? If non then I guess I wasted all my time and money. Should I just buy a different brand?

  15. Jeff Kohlmann says:

    I’ve had good & BAD experiences with Apple support. Spent hour and a half concerning iTunes & why I can’t transfer my music back into it, and she hangs up on me. REALLY???? Had to call back 3 more times. Never resolved except now they want you paying monthly for Music in Catalina. Think I’ll go back to Mojave

  16. Dave says:

    If you choose to contact Apple by phone the advisor is able to use “screen sharing” so you can show her/him the problem. That is often much easier than trying to describe the problem!

  17. Dan Neesley says:

    Chatting is a great concept if you can type 60 words a minute.

    Otherwise it’s a exercise in frustration. Especially since, I think, you can’t add a screenshot for clarity.

    • TN Tasha says:

      For some issues a quick chat is easy to resolve something, like an accidental purchase.

      For complex issues, I think it’s easiest to speak with a live rep at Apple Support over the phone.
