Google said it had identified the root cause, but did not elaborate.
Snapchat, which also experienced outages, said it was aware of the issue. DownDetector.com, an outage tracking website, showed that the number of Snapchat-related complaints had peaked at more than 48,000 before falling to about 1,800 as of 9 p.m. EDT on Sunday.
Snapchat’s parent company, Snap, said in its annual report it used Google Cloud, but neither company responded to questions about whether the Snapchat outage was linked to the Google Cloud issues.
During the outage, many users took to Twitter to complain about it under the hashtag #YouTubeDOWN.
