A Gmail outage has left 1000’s of users unable to send emails or messages on the favored Google app.
The outage appeared to hit users around 3 p.m. Thursday, with DownDetector, a site that tracks online issues, citing nearly 5,000 reports inside the hour.
About 82% of the issues reported seem like related to sending emails, in keeping with DownDetector, with only 15% citing direct server connectivity issues.
Those attempting to send messages were flagged with a red banner stating: “Message couldn’t be sent. Check your network and check out again.”
An outage map for Gmail within the US shows the issue occurring across the nation, with significant hotspots in America’s busiest hubs, especially Latest York City.
The issue has caused a few of Gmail’s greater than 1.8 billion energetic users across the globe to take to social media to share their issues with the ever present email service.
Many have gone on to post screenshots of the infamous “Oops, something went mistaken” message Gmail uses at any time when it stumbles across a connectivity issue.
Google has yet to issue a press release on the outage. The corporate didn’t immediately reply to The Post’s request for comment.
It stays unclear how many individuals and businesses were impacted by the problems, with DownDetector still citing greater than a thousand reports as of 5:12 p.m. EST.
It is a developing story …
