Incident Report
Summary AI Generated
A bug in the latest Gmail Android app release caused users to be unexpectedly logged out, and upon re-login, the app failed to recognize their accounts, displaying an "account already added" error that blocked inbox access. The incident lasted approximately 50.5 hours, with engineering identifying the root cause and rolling out a fix incrementally to ensure stability before a global release. As a workaround, affected users could revert to the base app version (optionally reinstalling the latest version afterward) or access Gmail via a mobile browser at mail.google.com.

Symptoms: - Users on the Gmail Android app are finding that their accounts unexpectedly appear logged out.
