Gmail is down around the world, but not for everyone

Gmail is down around the world, but not for everyone

Are you experiencing problems with Gmail or any of the many apps Google offers? There have been reports of problems accessing Gmail accounts on both mobile and desktop.

The issue appears to be affecting the ability to log into accounts across the US, UK, and Europe. Furthermore, the problem is not limited to Gmail; Google's own status page notes problems with Google Chat, Meet, Calendar, and Groups.

According to Down Detector, the problem began around 3:00 AM EST (8:00 AM GMT) and gradually grew until 5:00 AM: "We are currently investigating an issue affecting user access to several services that is affecting European users." [

.

Meanwhile, the Gmail workspace dashboard clearly confirms that some users are unable to access their Gmail accounts; TechRadar Pro also notes that two-factor login prompts run more slowly and in some cases result in errors, making the login noted that the problem is further exasperated.

However, the problem has not affected everyone; only one member of the Tom's Guide team was affected, but they were eventually able to log in. Similarly, Google Meet calls have been accessed without issue.

Still, the problem is widespread enough that people are complaining on sites like Twitter, though not as much as when Snapchat and Facebook services were shut down.

However, Google is now aware of the situation, and given that the outage is only affecting some users, it is hoped that it will not be too long before everything is up and running again. According to Google, an update is expected by 11:00 a.m. UK time (6:00 a.m. Eastern).

If anything else comes up, we will update this post. In the meantime, those locked out of their work accounts can enjoy something more interesting. Like the new Disney Plus Day content that has appeared on the streaming service.
