After the claim published that C/2019 Y4 (Atlas) may have broken apart I've used the early morning on April 12th to image that comet again, after doing so on April 1st.

Can't confirm the split into three parts with my amateur equipment but a change in the coma has happened as to be seen in the comparison close-up here:
