    Many have gone on to post screenshots of the infamous “Oops, something went wrong” message Gmail uses whenever it stumbles across a connectivity issue.

    Google has yet to issue a statement on the outage. The company did not immediately respond to The Post’s request for comment.

    It remains unclear how many people and businesses were impacted by the issues, with DownDetector still citing more than a thousand reports as of 5:12 p.m. EST.
