Outage Overview

Spotify is down, and the company has confirmed it’s working on the problem — though it hasn’t said much beyond that.

According to the Spotify Status account on X, the music streaming service acknowledged user complaints about an app outage on Tuesday and said it was looking into the issue. Users reaching out to Spotify on X report login issues, long loading times, and black screens.

Timeline

Per DownDetector (owned by Mashable parent company Ziff Davis), Spotify outage reports began climbing around 12 p.m. CT before peaking roughly half an hour later at 12:35 p.m. CT.

Current Status

No timetable has been given for when the app will be fully back up. Updates will be provided as more information becomes available.

The timing for Spotify isn’t ideal, as the company launched a new “Party of the Year(s)” feature on Tuesday morning. The wrap‑up feature is part of the Spotify 20‑year anniversary celebrations, and it presents users with their first‑ever Spotify listen and other nostalgic highlights from their listening history.

This is a developing story…
