Gemini down? Users report outage on Reddit
On June 10, 2026, Reddit users posted that Google's AI chatbot Gemini was not responding or showing errors. The service appeared to be temporarily unavailable. If you rely on Gemini for daily work, switching to another AI tool for now is a practical workaround.
A thread on the r/GeminiAI subreddit flagged what looked like a service outage for Google's Gemini AI chatbot. Users described getting no response or error messages when trying to use the tool.
Outages like this typically resolve within minutes to a few hours. If you use Gemini for coding, writing, or other tasks, alternatives like ChatGPT or Claude can fill in while the service is down.
