NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- Google on Tuesday afternoon said that it was aware that some users were experiencing issues with Gmail, including seeing error messages and "other unexpected behavior."

The latest update it posted on its Workspace Status Dashboard at 6:09 p.m. -- more than an hour and a half after its first update -- said they hoped to have the issue resolved by 7 p.m. -- but that time "may change."

"We expect to resolve the problem affecting a significant subset of users of Gmail at 12/15/20, 7:00 PM," read the post. "Please note that this time frame is an estimate and may change. The affected users are able to access Gmail, but are seeing error messages, high latency, and/or other unexpected behavior."
