Attention all music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a widespread outage starting early this morning. According to reports from Downdetector, issues began surfacing around 6 a.m. PT and continued throughout the morning. Many users, including our team, faced difficulties accessing the service, and even when the app managed to open, it failed to play music.
Spotify has officially acknowledged the problem and is actively working to resolve it as quickly as possible. The company has also debunked rumors circulating about the outage being caused by a security breach, confirming that these reports are false.
We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible. The reports of this being a security hack are false.
