UPDATE: Jan. 29, 2019, 2:12 p.m. CET According to a Google spokesperson, the issue with Gmail should now be resolved.

Gmail is having a bad day today, with users all around the globe reporting a "404" error when they tried accessing the service.

According to Outage Report and Down Detector, Gmail is currently down in nearly all of Europe, parts of Northa America, South America and Asia.

Google's own G Suite Status Dashboard doesn't show any issues, so it's possible that G Suite users aren't affected.

Gmail's outage comes hours after Instagram briefly went down, though that issue was quickly fixed.

We've pinged Gmail for more information and will update this article when we hear from them.
