Update 09:30 GMT: Google has confirmed it is looking into problems with Gmail and some of its other services. "We are currently investigating an issue affecting user access to multiple services affecting users in Europe," the company noted.
Email service Gmail appears to be suffering widespread issues this morning with a possible outage affecting both its online and mobile apps.
According to data from real-time outage monitoring service DownDetector, the incident began at roughly 0300 ET/08:00 GMT, with thousands of users having now registered problems across Europe, Asia and the US.
Along with Gmail, Google Chat, Google Meet, Google Groups and Google Calendar are also affected, with each program now shown as an alert on the official Google Workspace dashboard.

"We are currently investigating an issue affecting user access to multiple services affecting users in Europe," Google noted.
"We're investigating reports of an issue with Gmail. We will provide more information shortly. The affected users are uable to access Gmail," it added on the Gmail-specific page.
"We are investigating an issue which is affecting some users in Europe affecting their ability to access some services."
The issues, which seem to be affecting logging in to an online account, are affecting users in the UK, Europe and the US, with numbers growing by the minute.
Some users have taken to Twitter to complain they can't access Gmail services at all, and internal evidence from the TechRadar Pro team saw us unable to log into our accounts, with the usual 2FA security authenticiation methods running very slowly.
Sending 2FA alerts to a mobile device took much longer than usual, and in some cases resulted in an error, leaving us unable to log in as workers across the country log in for their working day.
We'll continue to monitor the story and update here when appropriate.
