A Gmail outage has left thousands of users unable to send emails or messages on the popular Google app.
The outage appeared to hit users at around 3 p.m. on Thursday, with DownDetector, a site that tracks online issues, citing nearly 5,000 reports within the hour.
About 82% of the problems reported appear to be related to sending emails, according to DownDetector, with only 15% citing direct server connectivity issues.
