GOOGLE OUTAGE: MILLIONS UNABLE TO ACCESS SEARCH FOR HOURS

Google was inaccessible for millions on Wednesday evening across the globe. The search engine from Google was not available which suggests the company faced a major outage. We were able to confirm the development via Downdetector which saw a big spike in reports from people in the United States, UK, Australia and countries like India as well.

Google Search Not Working: What Users Said

The Google outage on Wednesday indicates people were facing issues trying to open the website, which is the search engine. Some people were also unable to use Google Drive which didn’t seem like a widespread issue. The reported spike occurred around 8:00 PM IST in India, while those in countries like the US noticed the outage early in the morning. In India, the outage report was coming from cities like Delhi, Mumbai, Hyderabad, Bengaluru and Chennai among others.

Many affected people shared the update via a post on X and some even prayed that Google never comes back in action.

The company has not confirmed or shared any details about the outage but we expect to hear something from Google on this front, at least a post on X talking about the issue in the next few hours. At the time of writing, Google was working fine and we didn’t face any issues accessing the search engine or Google Drive.

Having said that, Google is a core part of millions and outages like these can leave them in a spot, so it is vital that people don’t rely on one service for all their needs to prevent any major lapses if incidents like these happen in the near future.
