Gemini not working for you? You're not alone (Updated: Fixed)

Update, June 11, 2026 (5:50 AM ET): Google has confirmed that it fixed Gemini’s connectivity issues. Users reported that they were receiving 1099 and 1076 errors, while some reported issues with back-to-back queries or specific AI models.

The company said that the issue was “triggered by a performance issue in our backend database which impacted the retrieval of Gemini App tools catalog.” However, this problem has now been resolved. Downdetector also reports that Gemini is working fine right now.

Original article, June 10, 2026: Many people rely on Gemini and its associated services every day, but it looks like Google’s AI platform is suffering from some connectivity issues today.

Users on X, Reddit, and Downdetector report that Gemini is offline or experiencing connectivity problems. According to Downdetector, the issue seems to have started just after 6:00 AM ET.

Affected users reported receiving 1099 and 1076 errors. It doesn’t look like Gemini is offline for everyone, though. Some Android Authority team members reported that the chatbot was working just fine. Meanwhile, others experienced issues asking back-to-back queries or with specific AI models (e.g., Flash).

Google’s own Workspace status dashboard and AI Studio status didn’t initially show issues. The company later acknowledged the problems on its status dashboard after this article was published, but didn’t identify a cause.
