Music lovers experienced a quiet morning as Spotify experienced a major service outage that affected its entire system. Service issues reached their highest point at 10:00 am GMT when more than 3000 users reported their issues through downdetector Tracking site.
The company has started service restoration work but not all users can access the platform as it is still operating at reduced capacity.
Mobile applications receive the most user complaints as they experience more problems than desktop software. Users report intermittent issues causing the application to work correctly for one song before crashing or failing to play the next track. Errors indicate that the server is having difficulties processing the large number of users trying to log in at the same time.
Reports about Spotify outages have started to subside but the application is still experiencing issues when attempting to establish a connection with the internet.
Users have different experiences as some can access their playlists but cannot play music while others experience the application closing completely upon opening the program.
Reportedly, Spotify’s technical teams are currently developing a solution, but they have not yet revealed the specific reasons that led to the system failures.
