According to frustrated users, GMAIL is having problems in the UK and the US.
Reports of problems are pouring in to Downdetector.
It is currently unknown what is causing the issues.
Google has been contacted for comment.
According to the US Downdetector site, 86 percent of problems are caused by a server connection.
Similar figures have been reported in the United Kingdom.
Over 7,000 problem reports have been submitted to Downdetector in the United States.
Over 4,000 issues have been reported in the United Kingdom.
People have also taken to Twitter to express their displeasure.
According to one person: “Only our company is having problems logging into Google Workspace Email; we are receiving a 502 error. That is a mistake.”
Another joked: “Oh no, @gmail is down, how can I do any work today?
“That settles it, I’m taking the rest of the day off!”
Google Meet is also experiencing issues.
Twitter users have been posting screenshots of a 502 error message from Google.
It reads: “502. That’s an error. The server encountered a temporary error and could not complete your request.
“Please try again in 30 seconds. That’s all we know”.
A 502 Bad Gateway Error message instead of the website screen you expected is always disappointing.
The message suggests that something is wrong with the website’s server.
It’s a code that indicates the server can’t handle your request right now, so the website you’re looking for isn’t available right now.
This could be due to a website being unavailable due to maintenance issues.
It could also indicate that there are too many people attempting to access the website at the same time.
A server is simply a computer that allows users to connect to an online resource or network.
All websites rely on servers to connect visitors to the desired website or address.
Server errors can sometimes be resolved by reloading the website, clearing your browser cache, or simply being patient and returning to the website later in the day.
You can see if the page reloads by refreshing it.
It could simply be a connection issue.
If it does not reload, you may need to be patient until the website’s owner resolves the server issue.
