A significant outage of Google services, including its search engine, Gmail, and YouTube, has affected users across Turkey and several countries in Eastern Europe.
The disruption, which began on Thursday morning, also impacted other popular platforms such as Google Maps, Drive, and Analytics.
Monitoring websites like Downdetector confirmed widespread service interruptions, with a spike in user reports around 10:00 a.m. local time in Turkey (07:00 GMT).
The outage was most heavily concentrated in Southeastern Europe, affecting countries such as Greece, Bulgaria, Romania, Serbia, Croatia, and Georgia.
Intermittent disruptions were also reported in other parts of Europe, including Germany, the Netherlands, Ukraine, and Russia, as well as in some U.S. cities like New York and Chicago.
The service disruption lasted for nearly two hours, with access gradually being restored for some users later in the morning.
During the outage, many websites that rely on Google Ads appeared without advertisements, and professional services like Google Analytics experienced significant slowdowns.
Reports of service disruptions began to spike dramatically around 2:10 AM EST, according to data from Down Detector, a popular outage-tracking website.
The concentration of reports suggests the problem is particularly acute on the East and West Coasts of the United States.
The sudden disruption has sent ripples across the internet, underscoring the world’s deep reliance on Google’s infrastructure. For millions, the outage has ground productivity to a halt and cut off primary channels of communication.
Social media platforms are awash with users sharing their frustration, with many echoing the sentiment that without Google, they feel disconnected from the digital world.
