Google’s UK accounts appear to be up and running again after multiple services including Gmail and Youtube all experienced outages.

There was a huge downtime spike for Google’s services at around 11.30am GMT according to outage site Down Detector.

Google’s Play Store, Drive and Calendar were also all reportedly down.

Problems have mainly been reported in Europe but Twitter users in India, Pakistan, Australia and the US are also experiencing issues.

Google’s Workspace Status Dashboard shows that every one of its services is experiencing an outage, including its Google sites.

It comes just two weeks after streaming giant Spotify crashed for nearly an hour after a widespread outage across Europe.
