PSA: Spotify confirms ongoing outage [Updated]

If you’re having problems using Spotify today, you’re not alone. The music streaming company has confirmed an ongoing outage and says it’s working on a fix.


Update, 12:30 p.m. PT/3:30 p.m. ET: Spotify is still down and the company hasn’t provided any additional updates on when the outage will be fixed.

Update, 1:59 p.m. PT/4:59 p.m. ET: Spotify says the outage has been resolved.

Downdetector, which aggregates outage information based on user reports, shows complaints spiking shortly after 9 a.m. PT/12 p.m. ET. On social media, a number of Spotify users complain they are unable to stream music, access their libraries, and more.

Spotify confirmed the outage in a post on X, saying: “We’re aware of some issues right now with the app and are checking them out!”

There’s no timetable for when the Spotify outage will be fixed. Are you having problems with the service? Let us know down in the comments.

If this Spotify outage is pushing you to consider your subscription, you can check out Apple Music for $10.99 per month, and you might even be eligible for a free trial.
