Google’s online calendar service has been hit by an outage, making it impossible for some users to access dates and appointments on their account.

The tech giant began investigating the issue as a service disruption at 3.22pm, before escalating it to service outage status at 4.40pm.

“Our team is continuing to investigate this issue,” the company said on its service status page.

“We will provide an update by 6/18/19, 5:40 PM with more information about this problem.

“Thank you for your patience. The affected users are unable to access Google Calendar.”
