According to DownDetector, the issues started at around 1pm today but was at first concentrated to Europe before moving on to the rest of the world.

It is not yet known what the cause of the problem which has impacted all of these services is, however, Google issues are known to be pretty rare and some services seem to be working intermittently as of this writing.

It is without a doubt that there must be some serious alarm bells ringing at the tech giant’s offices worldwide and they will (fingers crossed) have this sorted as quickly as possible.
