Was Spotify down? Live updates on the music streaming outage

All over?

Reports have taken a nose dive down to around 300, which is an indication that outage is over before it ever really got going. It peaked at around 1,800 reports, which is a decent amount, but not enough to be too much of a cause for concern.

Still working for me

Spotify is currently working fine for me, with both music and podcasts playing through the iOS version of the app. Search is also working for me.

Spotify reports slowly rising

We're slowly creeping towards 2,000 reports on Downdetector, but the rise is much slower than expected. Typically, when a big service like Spotify goes down, the reports explode into the tens of thousands rather quickly. That tells me that this outage is probably contained to a certain portion of the world or isolated to certain features.

Spotify on X

The official SpotifyStatus X account hasn't said anything about the outage yet, and Spotify Cares isn't much more helpful. A user reported the issues to the account, and the company asked for more information, but didn't go into specifics about what could be causing the problem.

This isn't too surprising, as the Cares account is meant for individual issues, not widespread outages. Since we haven't heard anything official, it's worth checking.

Slow climb

The reports haven't exploded like they typically do with a widespread outage, but they have climbed by a couple of hundred since the Spotify outage first started.

Social posts starting to come in

Whenever there's an outage to a major service like Spotify, the first place I usually go to learn more is X, as people are quick to complain when something is off.

In this case, there are plenty of posts from users talking about an inability to stream their music and podcasts.

Outage reports pour in

Users have started flocking to Downdetector to report that Spotify is down for them. In just moments, the number of reports rose to more than 1,000, a strong indication that something isn't working for the music streaming service.

As always, we'll continue to monitor the outage as it develops, but it definitely looks like something isn't right with Spotify.
