Spotify was down this morning for thousands of users: Updates on the widespread outages

My boyfriend texted me those dreaded four words: "Is your Spotify down?" Sure enough his, mine and thousands of other users' Spotify accounts appear to be down and out at the moment, with Downdetector recording over 10,000 reports from users.

Spotify is apparently working on the problem. The account, Spotify Status, shared an update on X at 9:45 AM on Monday, "We're aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!"About an hour later, the company shared an update saying that the outage was resolved as of 10:34 AM ET.

All clear! Thanks for your patience. If you're still having issues, you can find out more on this issue on our Community support thread: https://t.co/IaZcQTy9jF
