Is Gmail Down?

Users began to report outages on February 6 at around 11.19am, according to Downdetector.

According to the Downdetector website, 59 percent of users are experiencing issues with the server connection.

26 percent of users were reporting issues with receiving emails on the site.

However, only 16 percent of users reported issues with being able to login into their Gmail account.

How do I check if Gmail isn’t working?

There are websites that report when certain apps and websites are having issues.

Downdetector is one website that users can check to see if there are indeed outages for whatever issues they are experiencing.

Another way Gmail users can try to troubleshoot their account is to log out and attempt to log in once more.

Checking Google and Gmail’s Twitter accounts can be useful as well to see if they are reporting outages themselves.
