Google is facing an outage In India and several other countries as most of its services and apps have gone down. Google Contacts, Docs, Drive, Gmail, YouTube, and more are currently not working, prompting messages of error in India and more countries, including in Europe and the US. YouTube recently faced a major outage for a couple of hours in early last month, and it appears that the video streaming platform is again the most hit in the outage.
According to Downdetector, YouTube appears to have faced the brunt of the outage, with over 9,000 cases reported as of 5:11pm IST. Gmail, on the other hand shows over 900 cases reported as of the same time. Google Drive and Google website shows over 400 and 600 reports, respectively, on Downdetector.
Upon opening the YouTube homepage, it simply shows a ‘something went wrong’ message. There have been no confirmation from Google on the outage so far.
