LATEST UPDATES: UNDER RESOLUTION
The problems related to Google reported by Italian users involved in most cases a total blackout, in other cases difficulties in using the search functions.
For YouTube, however, difficulties were reported in the use of the application and in the management of video streaming. Finally, Meet users reported difficulties in accessing the website, problems with the app and related to audio quality.
Some problems also for Gmail, mainly due to the use of the website.
Since these are interconnected services, all headed by Google, it is likely that the cause is to be found upstream, for example in the cloud infrastructure. But official updates are expected. As always, we will update the article as soon as noteworthy changes emerge.
