Gmail’s spam filter and auto-sorting are disabled

Gmail users may see signs that spam checks are missing. We’re having an issue with Gmail as of Saturday 01-24-2026 at 05:02 US/Pacific. Users may encounter the following banner: “Be careful with this message. Gmail has not checked this message for spam, unverified senders, or malware.” Users are advised to be more careful rather than missing spam checks. Our engineering team is investigating the issue. We will provide an update by Saturday 2026-01-24 09:30 with current details.
