Google has rectified the Gmail glitch that caused users' inboxes to overflow with unwanted emails and triggered excessive spam warnings. The company confirmed on its X platform Saturday night that the problem, which affected automatic filters designed to keep inboxes clutter-free, has been fully resolved for all users.
According to Google, the issue led to misclassified emails being dumped into users' inboxes, along with increased spam warnings, including a prominent banner warning recipients about unverified senders and potential malware. The glitch also caused delays in message delivery, resulting in problems with two-factor authentication logins.
A spokesperson for Google echoed this assessment, urging users to exercise caution when interacting with messages from unknown senders. As the company continues to investigate the issue, it has published an analysis on its Workspace status dashboard, promising that a complete investigation will be completed and published at a later date. For now, Gmail users can breathe a sigh of relief as their inboxes are back to normal.

... like what even is the point of having automatic filters if they're just gonna break? I mean, I get it, mistakes happen but this was on a whole other level. I had so many spam warnings pop up in my inbox, it was like a never-ending loop of "unverified sender" alerts 
... and don't even get me started on the delays with two-factor authentication logins, that's just extra stress for people trying to stay safe online.
... time to stay vigilant and be cautious with those suspicious emails!
i guess that's what happens when you leave your filters like open for too long lol anyway glad google fixed the glitch, been there too with my inbox overflowing it was super frustrating 
now i just hope they fix their chat feature next, it's always freezing up on me 
but yeah, all good now, my inbox is back to normal and i can focus on finding some decent music playlist 
. Anyway, hope users didn't lose too much sleep over it. Two-factor authentication logins can be a real pain, but at least message delivery is back to normal now 
. Guess you could say Gmail's got its spam-sucking filters working again, saving the world one inbox at a time 
!
google was so slow on this one i mean automatic filters are supposed to keep our inboxes organized not turn them into spam hell 
i'm glad they fixed the glitch but it's really annoying that they didn't do a better job of testing their own product... i mean two-factor auth logins were all messed up because of this thing what if someone's 2fa login got compromised? 
anyway, kudos to google for owning up to the mistake and fixing it 
now let's see them improve those filters 
. And don't even get me started on the delay thing - I had two-factor authentication locked down for days because my phone wouldn't stop freaking out over Gmail 
. It's always the little things like this that make you appreciate the tech giants more, you know? 
... one little glitch and everything starts to unravel... i mean, have you ever had your inbox blown up with spam? it's like someone's pouring all the junk mail into your mailbox at once... and then there's the anxiety that comes with it - do i trust this sender? is this a scam? 
... but now it's all back to normal... but what does that even mean? are we just ignoring the underlying issues or waiting for them to happen again? 
... and i wonder, in our quest for efficiency and convenience, have we sacrificed some level of security and critical thinking along the way? 
... anyway, glad google's fixed it... but can't help but feel a little uneasy about the fragility of our digital world 
anyway gotta give google props for gettin' their act together ASAP 
i do feel bad for people who got caught in the middle of it though, hope they can recover from this 
i mean, who wants to sift through all that spam and junk mail? especially with the 2fa logins getting all messed up... anyway, glad they were able to iron it out 
was gettin so many spam emails lol... 
hopefully they'll find out what went wrong and prevent it from happenin again 
. I have to say, I'm a bit surprised they didn't do this earlier, considering how much people use Gmail every day. But at least they're being transparent about what happened and when they'll get back to investigating.
. Two-factor auth login issues were a pain too, but I'm just glad that's resolved as well 
.
I know how frustrating that must've been for you... dealing with overflowing inboxes can be super stressful! 
hopefully they'll do a thorough investigation and find out what went wrong 
just had to jump into this thread lol... so yeah google fixed the gmail glitch
