Prieur du Plessis (@prieurdp) reportedThe @gmail app on iOS feels like it’s vibe coded lately. Constantly getting stuck in weird states, actions not performed on emails, and search getting all wonky. I thought other people were talking crazy but man search has gone down hill :-/

BhunuIsLive (@Bhuneshwar763) reportedSir, everyone is facing issues with referrals, and they’re all asking me to raise this, so I had to make this post. Please look into it once. They are genuinely referring people and even giving gifts to their referrals, but they’re still not receiving the referral benefits. They’re also saying that they can’t keep creating new Gmail accounts and completing Rise and Sumsub KYC again and again. Please do something about this. If possible, could you make the referral system work like brokers do? If someone purchases an account through a referral link, with any payment method the commission should automatically be added to the person whose link was used. People are putting in their own effort to bring referrals, but if they don’t receive any benefits, they’re asking why they should continue referring. Please add Code System Everyone is requesting that you please do something about this, sir. @thefundedroom

Dr. Aye. 🇵🇸 𓂆 🍉 (@a4ambitious) reportedSo good peeps, i am unable to setup and restore my whatsapp in my phone. Chat transfer is not working in my primary phone and the other phone isn't restoring already backed up chats from gmail. I have changed the primary email to another one on whatsapp 2 years ago as well. #help

yegayega (@YabaBabaYega) reported.@Google & @GooglePlay is deliberately sabotaging the install of @telegram apk from their website directly. You need to forcefully login to google play and create a gmail account and disable security to install telegram. Or else it never installs it. Pathetic.

Thomas Pigg (@pigg_thomas) reportedHonestly we need something better than Gmail Their search system sucks so bad Might be on the way to fixing all human problems if we get this one right

koto2992 (@koto2992) reported@jasminexETH That's because the problem is rarely actually your inbox. It's that the rest of your Google account shares a storage pool with your Gmail. And they haven't advertised that in over a decade. You think every company should have to honor anything they said ever? Not sustainable.

Alexie (@Alexie_Ai) reportedFirst why most inboxes are a disaster. It's not your fault. Gmail defaults every account to one setting: all emails arrive in one flat list. No categories. No priority. No filtering. Everything from your most important client to a promotional email from a store you bought shoes from in 2019 lands in the same stream. The average professional receives 85+ emails per day. Over a year, that's 22,000+ messages arriving in one undifferentiated pile. Gmail has 15+ organizational tools built in. Labels. Filters. Stars. Categories. Multiple Inboxes. Priority Inbox. Nudges. Snooze. Auto-advance. All of them are turned off or unconfigured by default. The coach's framework: "Gmail isn't broken. It's unconfigured. The difference between email chaos and email clarity is 20 minutes in Settings. Once. The system runs itself after that."

Jon ONeill (@HouseHackerJon) reported@aspen_broker @bot It has had no issues with Gmail and is working really good. What’s nice is credentials are generally speaking shared across all the agents so I’ve only had to give my chief of staff access in for the most part. He handles the rest to the other team members.

American Factory Tracker 🇺🇸 (@FactoryTrackUSA) reportedWell, this has been one of those maddening founder problems: Gmail flagged the nearly unused account I created for American Factory Tracker as suspected spam and locked me out. :/ I tried creating a replacement today, but Google said my phone number had been used too many times and trapped me in a verification loop—even after my son helped me try again from his phone—so I am officially done wrestling with Google for now. I’ve removed the inaccessible email from the website and made this X account AFT’s official point of contact while I continue building and expanding the database. If you know of a qualifying factory project I haven’t added yet, see something I should review, or are genuinely interested in collaborating, please reach out here; I’d truly love to hear from you. 🇺🇸

Temwa Chawinga magic ✨️ (@leewritesalot) reportedAfter going into the dungeons of TikTok to find the settings that disable AI on my gmail and Google Drive, Google then decides to randomly gift me more AI features. I'm sorry, a product can't be that good if it is being constantly being shoved down our throats

Groyplax (@groyplax) reportedGoogle sucks **** do they ever release anything good? Why do u need ads every 27 seconds on yt ? u broke? -Your phone sucks -your search engine has been terrible for over a decade now, -Gmail/chrome are mid -Gemini is a failure -every1 hates working for u $GOOG

David C Shaheen (@davidcshaheen) reported@Google I have a complaint. Many times, if not all the time, when I click links inside of @gmail , I've noticed that it does not go directly to the link address. It does a Google search for the link address. This is usually not an issue, though I wonder why you guys do this.

Julian Goldie SEO (@JulianGoldieSEO) reportedOpenMousebot just landed. It's a free open-source version of Grokbot. And it runs on the AI subscriptions you already pay for. Quick backstory: Grokbot's "week-long" free trial died on me in 20 minutes. One day later, a builder shipped this. Open source. No waitlist. → Looks like WhatsApp, but every contact is an AI agent → Each bot gets its own brain, memory, and cloud computer → Pick a different model per bot: Claude, Codex, or Grok → 500+ one-click app connections: Gmail, Slack, Notion → Every risky action needs your approval first The part Grokbot can't match: Grokbot locks you into one model and burns tokens fast. This uses the Claude login you already have. One assistant in one chat box was version 1. A named team of agents, each with a job and a computer? That's version 2. And it just went free.

denas (@denasklncs) reported@resend gmail’s tool is just the one-click unsub they already required, two days to honour it. no login, no “tell us why” if that click opens a preference page, the next send from you is a spam signal gmail already logged

Jaxon (@jaxoncoder) reportedI lost a $4,500 client because Gmail hid his email in Promotions. I checked my last 30 days. 73 percent of my important emails were never in Primary. I don't know if Gmail does this on purpose, but the Promotions tab is exactly where Google puts their ads. Every time their algorithm accidentally hides a client email there, you are forced to scroll past their paid placements. 8 settings I changed to fix my inbox forever:

Common Truth (@common_truth_) reportedI’ve been using Grok for months to manage my to-do list and calendar. At first it was just me dumping notebook lists, emails, and random notes at it and asking it to organize them. Then I set up daily automations — a morning brief that pulled my calendar and Gmail, and an afternoon one that extracted action items from messages and notes. It helped a lot, but the same completed tasks kept coming back because everything still lived in too many places. Tonight we (@grok and I) finally fixed the real problem. One living Google Doc is now the single source of truth. I just talk to Grok — “mark this done,” “add this,” “what’s still open?” — and it updates the Doc. The automations will pull from that same document instead of hunting through the old mess. No more duplicate lists. No more zombie tasks. I’m genuinely blown away at how cleanly this came together. Feels like we cracked the actual system.

Synapse Brief (@Synapse_Brief) reportedSpaceXAI just shipped something more interesting than another model bump: AI agents with their own cloud computer, running 24/7, that sign into your actual tools instead of just talking about them. It's called Grok Bot, launched today in beta. Not a chat window. Not a workflow builder you have to configure first. You message it like a coworker, hand it a job, and it goes and does the job inside the real apps, including ones with no API or MCP integration at all. That last part is the actual unlock. Most agent products stall on integration coverage. This one gets around it by giving the Bot its own machine and letting it operate software the way a person would, clicking through the UI. Sales Bots researching accounts overnight and drafting outreach in a rep's own voice. An ops Bot processing invoices out of Gmail and seating new hires. An engineering Bot reproducing a bug, filing the ticket, then handing the fix to a separate debugging Bot. That handoff piece matters more than it sounds. Bots can message each other, share context in threads, sit together in a group chat and divide work without you playing relay. One person running a "chief of staff" Bot on top of several specialist Bots, instead of babysitting five separate agent windows. Guardrails are real, not decorative. Anything that sends, pays, deletes, publishes, or touches production still needs your approval. That's the part that makes "always-on and unsupervised" believable instead of alarming. It's in beta today on desktop and iOS, bundled into SuperGrok Heavy, Cursor Ultra ($200/mo), and Cursor Teams Premium ($120/seat/mo). Enterprise is waitlist only for now. Zoom out and this is the real story: SpaceXAI isn't launching a feature, it's trying to own the layer above the chat window entirely. Connectors landed in July. Grok Build hit 1.0 August 7. Grok Bot drops four days later. That's not a coincidence, that's a company assembling a stack on purpose. The open question is whether "sign in and click around like a human" holds up at scale the way clean API integrations do, or whether it becomes the thing that breaks first when five apps update their UI in the same week.

Herp Derpstreit (@HerpDerpstreit) reported@HustleBitch_ ARPANET being a DARPA project is not a conspiracy. It's in the history textbooks. What isn't: that it was built as a honeypot so every Gmail/Facebook click would train a giant AI "since the Reagan era," or that the wrong words summon a black SUV. Resource-sharing network in 1969 ≠ commercial surveillance in 2026. Those are real, separate problems (ads, data collection, actual warrantless programs). Mashing them into one Tesla-Grok jump scare is how you stop being able to talk about the real ones.

Chan (@ChanTheHuman) reported@TeamYouTube I'm still having the issue of a hacked gmail account that was falsely locked with parental controls. Please check my response to your original DM about this when possible. Again, really sorry that I keep pestering. I just want to be sure it's being looked into.
