Spotify is down

Spotify users around the world are experiencing issues with the music streaming app this morning, with widespread reports of outages affecting both mobile and desktop platforms. The disruption appears to have started around 8 a.m. ET, and the company has since acknowledged the issue through its official support channels.

Users report loading and playback problems

According to Spotify’s support site, many users are unable to load the app properly or are encountering playback issues once inside. The platform also notes that some individuals are facing difficulties accessing the support page itself, suggesting that the outage is more than just an isolated glitch. The problems are impacting multiple types of devices, including both smartphones and computers.

Outage confirmed by Spotify amid growing complaints

As user complaints surged on social media, Spotify confirmed the disruption and assured users that an investigation is underway. While no specific cause has been detailed, the company’s response indicates the problem is being taken seriously. Downdetector, a platform that monitors service outages, shows a significant spike in reports, confirming that the issue is widespread and ongoing.

A second outage in recent days raises concerns

This incident follows a smaller outage that occurred just last week, raising concerns about the stability of Spotify’s infrastructure. Although that issue was resolved quickly, the recurrence of problems in such a short span has left some users frustrated and looking for answers.

Spotify says it will provide updates as the situation evolves. For now, many subscribers remain unable to access their playlists or enjoy their daily music routines, prompting widespread attention across digital platforms.
