Google News suffers outage; updates back on now

Google News suffered an outage on Friday evening with several users facing issues in accessing it, although the latest updates and headlines on the page are back on now.

During the disruption, attempting the latest updates on Google News returned the result: “Uh-oh! Something went wrong. Please try again”, and the page did not show the usual deck of top stories and news updates.

Some users also complained of outages in Gmail services for a brief period during the day. Gmail services were up and running soon after.
