If you logged into Gmail and are missing some emails and contacts in it, don’t panic, your account is not hacked. The missing emails and contacts issues is actually Google’s fault and they are currently working on fixing the issue.
According to reports from Huffington Post and The Next Web, Gmail users have been reporting about deleted emails and contacts from their Gmail accounts. The issue seems to be widespread with users reporting it on forums.
According to some reports, over 500,000 users have been affected with this problem and several more users are currently seeing the same. Google has been working on the issues since the past 3 hours and have posted updates on their app status dashboard. The first message was posted at around 3PM Eastern time with the latest message being posted at 5:44 PM Eastern with no fix in place.
Currently Google says that they will provide further updates in the next two hours on whether or not this problem is fixed. So if you are missing some emails or contacts, please wait until the next Google update is available. We have contacted Google for a statement about this issue and will update once we have more information.
