Google services experienced a widespread outage in Turkiye on Thursday morning, leaving core functions such as search and YouTube inaccessible.

Users reported search queries failing to return results, frozen pages, and an inability to connect to Google servers. Social media posts suggested the disruption extended beyond Turkiye, affecting users in Bulgaria, Greece, Georgia, Croatia, Serbia, Romania, Armenia, the Netherlands, and Germany.

The Turkish state-run Anadolu Agency confirmed outages across parts of Southeastern Europe. Turkish Deputy Minister of Transport and Infrastructure, Omer Fatih Sayan, said the issue impacted Android and related services in Turkiye and the wider European region.

He added that the National Cyber Incident Response Centre had requested a technical report from Google and is monitoring the situation closely.

As of 10:57 a.m. local time, 4 September 2025, access to Google services in Turkiye had been restored. Google has yet to issue an official statement regarding the cause of the disruption.
