Gmail, Play Store, YouTube and other Google services are down

It’s not just you: Google is experiencing a global decline in most of its services, both mobile and web. Gmail can’t sync contacts, there are delays in email delivery, the Google Play Store isn’t working, and Google Meet video calling isn’t working properly either.

It is not usual for Google’s servers to post drops that affect most of the services it offers its users, but today, December 14, goes through a noticeable bump

. As a good majority of users report, and we’ve checked on our own phones, most Google services are down. It remains to wait for them to recover.

YouTube, Search, Play Store, Meet, Classroom … are down

We are facing one of the biggest drops in Google’s servers, a widespread problem that is stop loading web pages also with the proper functioning of applications on Android mobiles

. If you’ve tried to access any of the Google apps and the access didn’t work, you’ll have to wait for Google to get the servers back up and running.

Connection issues with Google services and apps affect everyone, although they are specifically focused on Europe and the east coast of the United States (data from Down Detector). The errors range from not being able to sign in to the Google account to pending downloads from the App Store

. Additionally, Meet video calling does not work properly, as does YouTube video access and playback. The message that jumps to phone applications is that of ‘There was a problem with the server“.
