Gmail not working for you?
If we show Gmail as up but it won't load for you, try these steps:
- Make sure the Gmail app is up to date, then force-close and reopen it.
- Switch between Wi-Fi and mobile data to rule out your network.
- Check that Gmail is allowed to use background data and send notifications.
- If only some messages fail, the problem may be the other person's connection.

Why is Gmail not working for me?
If Gmail is up for us but not for you, the cause is usually local: an outdated browser cache, a DNS problem, your internet connection, a VPN or ad blocker, or an out-of-date app. Work through the steps under "Gmail not working for you?" above.
How do you check if Gmail is down?
Our server requests https://mail.google.com/ every 2 minutes from outside your network. If Gmail answers at all, even with a redirect or a sign-in page, we count it as up. Timeouts, refused connections, DNS failures and 5xx server errors count as down. Press "Check now" to run a live test at any time.
Does Gmail have an official status page?
Yes. Gmail posts official status updates at google.com.
