GMAIL, YouTube, Google Docs and other services go down simultaneously in multiple countries with many businesses and users taking to social media to complain and share a joke.
Gmail, YouTube and Google Docs are all experiencing outages, with reports we’ve seen so far coming in from Europe, the US and India. DownDetector indicates that the outage, which appears to be affecting Google’s business and personal services, started at around 11.30 am (GMT).
However, reports are mounting on Twitter as users can’t access its basic services, with Gmail and the hashtag “#YouTubeDOWN” starting to trend. Using the hashtag, one user tweeted: “Me again trying to eat my breakfast without YouTube be like. #YouTubeDOWN”
