Thousands report Spotify problems around the world
Downdetector, which tracks platforms, showed more than 20,000 people reported Spotify was not working on Wednesday.
www.bbc.comHere’s the latest on Spotify outages based on recent reporting.
- Widespread outage in mid-April 2025 affected thousands of users globally, with issues including login, homepage access, and playback. Spotify said the problem was resolved and advised affected users to check again; some reports noted continued partial issues for a while.[2][3][4]
- In December 2025, Downdetector tracked a major outage affecting tens of thousands of users in multiple regions, though service largely recovered for most by late morning; Spotify stated the outage was resolved and encouraged users still experiencing trouble to visit support channels.[1][3]
- Outages have been described as sporadic in the past, with multiple incidents in 2025 suggesting occasional regional or global service interruptions, followed by rapid restoration.[6][1]
- Current status pages and outage trackers provide real-time updates and incident timelines; you can also check Spotify’s official status page for the most up-to-date information.[9]
