Over the weekend, Gmail users encountered issues with automatic email filtering and spam detection. Some emails were misclassified, leading to cluttered inboxes, and users received warnings indicating that certain messages hadn't been scanned for spam or harmful content. Additionally, there were reports of delays in receiving emails. Google acknowledged these problems and worked to resolve them promptly. By Sunday morning, the issues were marked as resolved, and Gmail users should now experience normal functionality. Google has stated that an internal investigation will be conducted to analyze the cause of the incident.
