In General Relativity, gravity is not a force. Despite the fact we know that GR is broken and can't be a description of reality, even educated physicists seem to persist in speaking as if it is absolutely true, even though they know better. See also all the talk about "what happens in a black hole", which should almost always be qualified with "in General Relativity". When we have a unified theory a lot of the crazy stuff, like rotating singularities leading to "other universes", will probably disappear. Is gravity going to be a force in the Unified Theory? Probably. I believe it is in our current best candidates. But they aren't right either yet, so I don't know. Edit: Some modders seem to be confused and are probably reading this as some sort of criticism of science itself or something. It is not. It is literally true. It is not a force in GR, but that doesn't make it "not a force", because GR is known to be false. It is an exceedingly good approximation to something, but we know it is not the underlying truth, which is why we are still seeking out a Unified Theory... precisely because GR isn't it. Thus, I find confident proclamations about whether or not gravity is or is not a force to be premature. We don't know. The thing it is definitely not a force in is known to be not the truth. So to the extent you are confused about why it isn't a force... well, stay tuned, because this whole area is ripe for reconsideration in the next few decades. There are also theories that have attempted to rewrite all of physics as "not a force"s like gravity too, turning all forces into geometry. While these are not currently favored, IIRC these are the orginal physics theories that added rolled-up dimensions. String theory built on those.
