Google Gemini outage frustrates users, but status page says everything’s fine

Those who rely on Gemini daily are waking up to find that their AI assistant of choice has taken the morning off.

Downdetector shows that the service is not working for many. Reports started coming in right after 6 am ET this morning and are climbing steadily, at close to 1,000, as of now.

Most of the issues are with the Gemini app directly, which accounts for 58% of the reports. Website errors make up 35% of problems. Google Home devices should be the least affected right now, with automation and workflows errors accounting for only 5%

The Gemini status page does not show a sign of a hiccup, however, stating, “All systems are currently operational.”

Gemini users are reporting 1076 and 1099 errors on Reddit, X, and other social media. A 1076 error is “a browser-level conflict or a temporary communication glitch with Gemini” according to a platinum product expert on Google Support. He adds that it’s not a usual error.

The same expert back in May advised a user getting 1099 errors to try to clear the error by switching models, performing a hard refresh, or using Gemini in a browser in incognito mode, so if you’re getting the same error, you can try those methods.

AP has reached out to Google about the cause of the issue and a timeline for a fix. We’ll let you know when there’s an update.
