Spotify Down: Users Locked Out as Streaming Service Stops Working

Last night, Spotify stopped working, preventing some users from playing songs or using the platform at all. Users were logged out and some claimed the app said their account was deleted. Others were given a vague message saying 鈥渟omething went wrong鈥 or 鈥渢ry again鈥, whilst refusing to work no matter how many times users tried to refresh the page.

While Spotify鈥檚 issues with its platform coincided with the Discord outage, the two issues appear to be unrelated, with no obvious outage report for shared internet infrastructure.

 

 

Spotify took to Twitter to acknowledge the issue yesterday afternoon, stating 鈥淪omething鈥檚 not quite right, and we鈥檙e looking into it,鈥 adding 鈥淭hanks for your reports!鈥, however, no details were given on what went wrong or when the issue might be resolved.

The company encouraged those affected to check the help pages it had provided, however this was also showing errors as people struggled to access Spotify鈥檚 website.

Spotify tweeted later on yesterday afternoon that things were looking better, with reports showing people were coming back online, while Discords service was restored around 4PM the same day.
