Gmail down! Millions cannot access their inbox and important messages
Gmail faced an outage on Thursday morning, leaving millions unable to access their mailboxes and halting work. The problem appears to have affected people using the regular Gmail app on the web, and even those who paid for a Workspace account through Google.
Gmail users in India and some other countries have reported the outage, and Downdetector.in confirms the incident began around 11:00 a.m. on Thursday, which is ideally the start of the work day for many people in the country.
The monitoring site suggests that the outage was in effect for about an hour, and by 12:00 p.m. things were back to normal. Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Kolkata and many other cities saw the impact of the service and people shared the update through social media channels.
Google has not given any reason for the outage, suggesting that the outages have affected a small portion of its overall user base. Either way, we’ll keep an eye on Google for updates and update this story when we have something to share.
Gmail is not only used for personal purposes, people also rely on the Workspace ecosystem to create professional accounts for businesses through the Gmail network.
