Spotify is down according to widespread user reports across the US and Europe, with issues preventing the platform from loading or streaming music. At 8:45AM ET on Wednesday morning, the Spotify Status account on X said it was “aware of some issues” affecting the service right now, and is currently “checking them out.”
The issues are affecting the Spotify web player, desktop app, and iOS app. Some desktop users are being met with a black screen that refuses to load entirely, while others are able to select songs, but are unable to play them. Some songs may be playable on iOS, but only if Spotify cached them before the outage.
It’s unclear what is causing the outages, or when users can expect regular service to be restored.
