How to fix Google Gemini not working
Google Gemini is up on our end, so if it won't work for you, the problem is most likely on your side. Work through these in order:
Your browser tries to reach gemini.google.com over your own connection, right now. Nothing is sent to us or stored.
Try Gemini in Incognito
Try incognito first. Load the Gemini page in a private window; if a response comes back, an extension or cached data is interfering with your normal browser profile. Close the private window and disable extensions one by one, or clear the site data for the service.
Start a New Gemini Chat
Tap the plus button or New chat, then send a short prompt. When the old thread answers but the new one does not, the problem sits in that conversation or in a Gem you selected. Start a fresh chat without a Gem and try again.
Turn Off Gemini Extensions
On the web, open Settings & help, then Extensions; in the app, open Settings, then Extensions. Switch off Google Workspace and YouTube. Those connectors can stall a reply when an account permission expires or a remote service is slow.
Clear Gemini App Cache
Clear the app cache first. On Android, open Settings, then Apps, then Gemini, then Storage & cache, and tap Clear cache. In Chrome, open the site controls beside the address, remove cookies and site data for the service, then sign out of your Google Account and sign back in.
While Google Gemini is down: what to use instead
- Web version in a browser If the phone app keeps spinning or shows a message that something went wrong, open the service in a desktop browser, because the app and the website do not always fail at the same time.
- Google AI Studio AI Studio is a separate Google product that gives you access to the same family of models, so it may still answer when the chat app is having trouble.
- ChatGPT It handles drafting and quick questions well.
- Claude When you need to summarize or rewrite a long document you paste in, Claude is a good stand-in until the service comes back.
Fix Google Gemini on Windows, Mac, Android and iPhone
Google Gemini on Windows
- Fix
- To fix Google Gemini on Windows, clear your browser's cache and cookies, or try disabling third-party extensions that might interfere with the website. You can also attempt to access the service using an incognito window or an alternative browser.
- Check
- To check if Google Gemini is down on Windows, visit the official Google Workspace Status Dashboard or try loading the website on a different network. If other websites load fine but Gemini doesn't, the service is likely experiencing an outage.

- If Google Gemini is not working on your Mac, clear your Safari or Chrome browsing data and temporarily disable any active content blockers. You can also try accessing the site through an alternative browser to rule out browser-specific issues.
- Check
- Verify if Google Gemini is down on macOS by checking if the web page loads in a private browsing window. You can also check if other Google services are accessible to rule out a wider network issue.

- Fix
- Fix Google Gemini on Android by clearing the app's cache and data through your system settings, or check the Google Play Store for any pending updates. If the issue persists, try reinstalling the Gemini app entirely.
- Check
- To see if Google Gemini is down on Android, check if other Google apps like Search or Assistant are connecting properly. You can also look at the Google Play Store reviews sorted by 'Most Recent' to see if other users are reporting similar issues.
Google Gemini on iPhone and iPad
- Fix
- If Google Gemini is not working on iOS, force close the Google app and restart your iPhone or iPad. You can also check the App Store for updates to the Google app or try reinstalling the application.
- Check
- Confirm if Google Gemini is down on iOS by checking your internet connection and seeing if the web version loads in Safari. If the app displays connection errors while your internet is functional, the Gemini servers may be offline.

Problems at the same time as Google Gemini
Since 5 October, 7 of Google Gemini's 12 spikes in problem reports overlapped a spike at another service.
When several services get problem reports at once, something they share, such as a cloud host or a network, can be the real cause. Matching times alone do not prove it.

What happens when Google Gemini goes down
Google Gemini is Google's AI assistant for chat and image questions. You can open it in a browser or a phone app, and an outage interrupts prompt answers, file uploads, the side panel in Gmail, and the side panel in Docs, which slows down drafting and research.
When the app has trouble, prompts often spin or fail to send before anything else breaks. You may get an error after you send a prompt, and the reply never arrives. File uploads and image questions can hang, while the side panel in Gmail or Docs may load a blank box or drop your draft. These problems hit parts of a region or a single platform more often than the whole service, so your phone may work while the web app does not.

How we track Google Gemini
The status on this page comes from user-submitted problem reports for Google Gemini, counted in 15-minute windows over the last 24 hours. Each window is compared with the normal level for Google Gemini, so a few complaints on a quiet day don't trigger anything, but a sudden jump well above normal does.
When reports climb well above normal, the status here changes to partial outage or major outage and the chart moves with it. This is separate from Google Gemini's official status page: user reports tend to show a problem early, while the official page confirms the cause. If the two disagree, check both.
