OpenAI’s popular AI chatbot, ChatGPT, experienced a major service disruption on Tuesday, June 10, 2025, affecting thousands of users across India and the United States. According to Downdetector, over 500 users in India alone reported issues, with 88% tied to the web version, followed by 8% for mobile apps and 3% related to the API.
OpenAI acknowledged the outage via its official Status Page, citing “elevated latency and error rates” across ChatGPT, Sora, and API services. While the company confirmed the issue is under active investigation, no timeline for full restoration has been shared yet.
Users noted varied impact depending on the platform—ChatGPT functioned intermittently on iOS devices and Safari, but remained largely unresponsive on Chrome browsers and Android devices. The root cause of the disruption remains unclear.
Meanwhile, social media platforms were abuzz with user frustration and lighthearted memes, highlighting the tool’s central role in work, learning, and productivity.
