Widespread downtime affects Google services, including Google, Gmail, and Meet, leading to login difficulties for users
Google services, including Google Meet, Gmail, Workspace, Drive, and other associated apps, experienced login issues this morning at approximately 11 am ET. The outage, which lasted for about an hour between 07:22 and 08:30 PDT, also affected several other websites that required Google credentials. Google confirmed the outage on the Workspaces Dashboard and is closely monitoring the situation. The engineering team identified the cause and applied mitigations by 08:30 PDT. Engineering interventions are being made to restore the affected Google services. DownDetector showed a major spike in user disruptions for Google, Gmail, and other Workspace apps around the same time. Over 6,000 user reports indicated issues with logging into Google's apps during the outage. Users encountered '502' error messages during the disruption. The outage affected a majority of users on the platform, causing disruptions to Google services. Last week, a similar outage hit Google Maps, causing the platform to load improperly, but it was quickly resolved. However, the last reported outage of Google Maps occurred on September 4–5, 2025, affecting Turkey, parts of Europe, and Germany, but specific duration details of the problem are not provided in the available data. Google is working to restore services and DownDetector reports on the outage are dwindling as services are being restored. No workaround for the outage has been provided as of yet. Despite the inconvenience, Google services should now be able to be logged into after the outage. The company continues to work diligently to ensure the stability and reliability of its services for its users.
