As of 8 a.m. Pacific time, Downdetector showed more than 20,000 outage reports for Spotify worldwide, down from a peak of almost 50,000 an hour earlier. The spike in reports began around 6 a.m. Pacific.
“We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!” Spotify’s status account wrote on X.
Spotify did not immediately provide more information about what might be causing the outage, but noted in a follow-up post that “reports of this being a security hack are false.”
In addition to loading and playback issues, downtime updates from Spotify noted that some users were also having difficulty accessing the platform’s support site.
Spotify says it has more than 675 million users, including 263 million subscribers worldwide.
