Spotify down – what’s happened?

Online outage tracker Down Detector has logged tens of thousands of reports about Spotify.

These user complaints cite issues with music streaming, logging in, and casting to Sonos speakers.

A live outage map suggests that the problem is largely centred around the UK and Western Europe.

But it may also affect the USA once Americans wake up after Thanksgiving.

Spotify not working – what are users saying?

Hundreds of users have flocked to Twitter to complain about the outage.

Affected music fans say their songs aren’t streaming, the app isn’t loading properly, and they’re living in dreaded silence.

One disappointed user wrote: “Welp #Spotify is down and now I can’t listen to Bad bunny’s new album and cry myself to sleep. @Spotify tell me when you’re not broken sweetheart.”

Another moaned: “Why is Spotify down? I need to continue to give
@MileyCyrus all my steams #PLASTICHEARTS.”

Disappointed users were unable to stream their favourite tracks and artists
