Ammon News - A widespread Gmail glitch is pushing marketing and social notifications into users’ Primary inboxes, effectively bypassing the service’s filtering rules and tabbed categories. Users report an influx of promos, newsletters, and platform alerts that would normally land in Promotions or Social, alongside unexpected spam warnings on legitimate messages.

What Users Are Seeing in Their Primary Gmail Inboxes

Complaints on social platforms describe Primary inboxes swamped by retailer blasts, newsletter digests, and LinkedIn or other network notifications. Some filters and rules that typically auto-label or archive routine mail are not firing as expected, forcing manual triage. Several users also note confusing “suspicious message” banners appearing on ordinary correspondence.
