Gmail resumes services after millions face outage globally

Email platform Gmail slowly started resuming its services late on Saturday after facing an outage for more than three hours, impacting millions of users globally. The company said that it could take a few hours before all backlog emails could be delivered.

According to data on reporting website Downdetector.com, the issue occurred roughly around 7.30 PM and seems to have impacted Gmail users globally. Several users were seen complaining of undelivered emails and an unresponsive Gmail app.

“Downdetector only reports an incident when the number of problem reports is significantly higher than the typical volume for that time of day,” the reporting site mentioned.
