Tech giant Google is restoring services for users after facing a massive outage since Thursday morning.

Thousands of users, mainly in India and parts of Malaysia, Japan, US and Australia, among other countries, had reported disruption of service and were not being able to access various Google services. These included Gmail, Google Drive, Google Docs and Google Slides. Some users also reported trouble accessing Google Sites, Google Groups, Google Chat, Google Keep and Google Voice.

“Gmail service has already been restored for some users, and we expect a resolution for all users in the near future. Please note this time frame is an estimate and may change,” said Google on its G Suite Status Dashboard. The company has posted similar messages related to the restoration of other services as well.
