If you tried to use
Google Gemini and got stuck, you are
not alone. Many users say the tool loads just fine, but once they send a
prompt, it never gives a reply. The screen shows it is still at work, yet no
answer ever comes.
The issue
began on Friday. At first, it felt like a small
glitch. Now it seems far wider. Reports have grown, and many users say the same
thing:
Gemini opens, but it will not finish even the most basic task.
Prompts Spin, But No Reply Comes
Users say the main page of
Google Gemini works as usual.
You can type in your prompt and press send. After that, the tool gets stuck in
a loop. It looks like it is still thinking, but the reply never shows.
This has caused real stress for many. Some rely on Gemini
for work. Others use it for quick facts or daily tasks. When it fails, it slows
down plans and adds to the load of the day.
The site DownDetector also shows a sharp rise in user
reports. Many posts there share the same story. The tool stalls at the last
step, right when it should give an answer.
What Could Be the Cause?
So far,
Google has not made a clear note on the cause. That
leaves room for guesswork. Previously, tools such as this have had issues with
high loads, as too many simultaneous logins can cause the system to slow down
or freeze.
At times, a back-end update can also cause a fault. If a
new change does not run as it should, the tool may lock up in a loop. These
types of breaks are not rare in AI tools, but they are still a pain for users.
Most times, such issues get fixed fast. Yet this time, the
break has gone on for more than a day.
Not Much Users Can Do
This seems to be a server-side issue, meaning users cannot
do anything to fix the issue. Users cannot clear their cache or reset the
application. They can’t switch their device to fix the issue if the system is
not functioning.
After a few hours of waiting, the system now seems to be back to normal. A couple of tests show that it now works normally. Google did not issue any statement regarding the cause of the downtime. We also do not know if
Gemini now works for everybody. Let us know in the comments section below if the system is now working normally for you.
