Now, if you’re already laughing at the twitter memes then one more thing, that the Gmail is back at its full working capacity. What effected the application is still unknown but it’s expected to say that its a server inability issuer or something related.
Now, if you’re someone who lives under a rock and was probably not in accordance with what happened. Then you need to go and check your Gmail now, for you might have missed many important messages, thinking that today is a light workday.
Well! it’s not the first time that we’re seeing such an outage and recently, applications like Whatsapp, Twitter and Quora, and many others are facing the same issues.
The cause is unknown for sure but we do know that big servers need constant maintenance and no company is functioning at their full potential, so mishaps like these are expected.
