There was something going on with Spotify, but it was short lived. The popular music and podcast streaming service wasn't working as expected, with thousands of users flocking to Downdetector to report problems, but the reports dropped off quickly.
For its part, Spotify never acknowledged the issue. The company's SpotifyCares X account is telling users to restart the app, but it never said there was a widespread issue.
Spotify outage — Live updates
The reports roll in
The reports started rolling in quickly, with more than 4,000 reports popping in on Downdetector. This is a lot of reports, so we're quite confident that something is wrong with Spotify, though we're digging through X and other networks to learn more about which platforms are having the most issues.
Leveling off?
The outage could be leveling off, as we're seeing the reports go down. This happens sometimes as huge spikes come in when an outage first starts and then it normalizes as time goes on.
We'll see if this is an early sign that Spotify has fixed the problem or if its the leveling off process shortly.
Working for most
Based on the Downdetector comments, it appears that Spotify is working again. I'm currently listening to the new Black Veil Brides song without any issues over here, so I think this was just a quick outage that's been sorted.
