Google's Gemini AI Faces Widespread Outage

The disruption blocks new prompts on web and mobile, risking interruptions to search and Workspace tasks.

Overview

  • User reports and outage trackers show problems began at about 6:11 a.m. ET (11:11 GMT) on Wednesday, June 10, 2026, when Gemini started returning error codes 1076 and 1099.
  • Downdetector recorded a sharp spike in complaints that peaked at several hundred reports and was reported as high as roughly 765 before trending down.
  • Users across multiple countries said Gemini failed to load chats or process new prompts on both the web and mobile apps, and some Workspace accounts were affected.
  • Google has not posted an official explanation or estimated time to fix the issue, and its Workspace status page showed no error while users continued to report failures on social media.
  • The root cause remains unconfirmed; published coverage notes possible explanations such as server or backend failures, a faulty deployment, network issues, or overload, and the outage highlights questions about Gemini's reliability after the recent rollout of Gemini Omni.
