Spotify Down Today: Global Outage Hits Songs, Search and Web Player as Company Investigates
Spotify ran into a major outage on Tuesday, knocking out song playback, track searches, and some app features for users. The company acknowledged the trouble, saying it was looking into “some issues” with the app. The outage rippled through Europe’s prime listening hours and hit right around lunchtime for users in the U.S.—not great timing for a platform that promises round-the-clock availability. By 10:56 a.m. Pacific, Downdetector had logged over 30,000 reports, GV Wire noted. It’s worth remembering, those trackers only count user-submitted incidents, not the full extent of the disruption.
