American tech giant Google has finally fixed the server-related issue affecting millions of Android users across the globe. Many Android users across the world took to social media platform X and reported issues with the Google app on their phones.
“We have fixed the issue with the service. There will be no further updates,” the company wrote on Google’s search status web page.
According to users, the Google search bar widget briefly displayed old queries before crashing. Google Discover failed to launch, and tapping the voice search microphone also caused the Google app to stop working.

The next update will be rolling out within the next 12 hours. The issue with the service has been mitigated and our systems are stabilizing, but we are still working on a fix. Affected users still experiencing issues in the Google app on Android can try clearing the app cache and data via the Settings app. The next update will be rolling out within the next 12 hours,” the search giant said.
