However, at the time of filing this report, the apps are showing signs of response, indicating they are gradually coming back online.
Outages like this are very rare with Google. Although, a similar issue occurred in June 2019 but affected only Google users in the United States.
In that instance, the reason for the outage was a change to server settings that was supposed to be applied to a few machines in a specific region – but was accidentally applied to many more.
Google was yet to address the issue at hand.
