Multiple people are reporting that Google services are down. The majority of the services including Youtube, Google Search, Google Photos and Google Drive are all unresponsive.
We noticed that the services were unavailable a 12:55 PM GMT. You can check here on Google Workspace Dashboard as to when these services will be back up and running. As well as check Downdetector
This outage has also affected Google’s line of smart home devices. None of the smart device by Google I own are currently working. I get a default response of ‘Sorry there was a glitch’
We’ll update this blog as and when Google’s services come back online.

#GoogleDrive currently allows me to log in, however, we’re greeted with the message ‘The server encountered an error, please try again later’
