Spotify is currently experiencing a service outage that is affecting users across multiple regions. Reports indicate that the disruption began earlier on Monday, with a growing number of users unable to access key features of the streaming platform.
According to outage-tracking data from Downdetector, user complaints spiked shortly after 9:00 a.m. ET / 6:00 a.m. PT. The reports point to a range of issues, including problems loading the Spotify app, streaming music or podcasts, accessing saved libraries, and using search and browsing features. Some users report being unable to log in entirely, while others experience intermittent playback failures.
The outage appears to be widespread, though it is not affecting all users equally. In some cases, Spotify may load but fail to play content, while in others the service may be completely unavailable. The issues have been reported across multiple platforms, including iOS, Android, desktop apps, and the web player, suggesting the problem is likely related to Spotify’s backend services rather than a single operating system or device type.
Spotify has acknowledged the issue publicly, stating that it is aware of ongoing problems and that its engineering teams are actively investigating.
As of now, the company has not shared details regarding the root cause of the outage or provided a timeline for when normal service is expected to be restored.
Users experiencing issues are advised to monitor Spotify’s official support channels and social media accounts for updates. Restarting the app, reinstalling it, or switching devices does not appear to resolve the problem at this time, as the disruption is not user-side.
This article will be updated if Spotify releases additional information or confirms that the outage has been resolved.
