Progress Timeline
Activity Summary
Blocked in Syria, verified by community reports in February 2026, where the exchange returned a "not available in this country" message over Syrian connections. A community volunteer contacted the company in February 2026; the company acknowledged the request but the support ticket was auto-closed after no further reply, and the access issue was never substantively addressed. No resolution yet.
Note
Gemini support auto-closed the ticket after 4 days of no response. The original Syria access request was never substantively addressed.
Note
Gemini support sent an automated follow-up asking if the case is still unresolved. The ticket will auto-close in 48 hours without a reply. A response is needed to keep the ticket active.
