In case your Gmail account doesn’t appear to be working properly today, you’re not alone.
The official status dashboard for Google Workspace suggests that the problems began at around 5am Pacific on Saturday morning, with users experiencing each “misclassification of emails of their inbox and extra spam warnings.”
For me, that meant my Primary inbox was crammed with messages that might normally appear within the Promotions, Social, or Updates inboxes, and that spam warnings were appearing in emails from known senders.
Other users have complained on social media that “all of the spam goes on to my inbox” and that Gmail’s filters seem “suddenly completely busted.”
“We’re actively working to resolve the difficulty,” Google said. “As all the time, we encourage users to follow standard best practices when engaging with messages from unknown senders.”
