According to Downdetector, the reports of the outage started appearing at around 09:44 AM in India and have been increasing since then. As expected, frustrated users head to X (formerly Twitter) to share their experiences and look out for updates. While one user posted, ‘google down.. sundar pichai aisa kya search kar liya bhai,’ another wrote, ‘I’ve never seen google down before… google’s down…’

The company is yet to share an official statement regarding the outage. For now, users will just have to wait for the tech giant to identify the issue and fix it.
