Is Spotify down? Spotify not playing - what we know so far (PA)

Users of the music streaming service Spotify have been reporting issues with their service since just before 1pm.

Reports began to appear on Down Detector, a site used for reporting online outages, at around 12:50pm. Since then, reports have quickly spiked to 1000 as users report issues primarily with the app.

At the time of writing, 43% of reports cited issues with the audio streaming, 37% with the app and 20% with the website.

Is Spotify down?

Spotify has not yet confirmed any outage or issue with the service, and the Spotify Status account has not yet tweeted about any issues.

However, hundreds of users have taken to Twitter to report their issues.

Many simply asked other users "Is Spotify down?", while others elaborated on their specific problem, as the app is currently unable to play any music.

One user wrote: "Happily listening to music and then Spotify goes down again".

Another said: "Spotify down. HORROR"

You can check the status of Spotify on the Down Detector website here.
