Spotify, the largest subscription-based music streaming service worldwide, faced a significant outage and users are not happy about it.
According to Down Detector, users started to report issues with Spotify just before 1 p.m. ET on Tuesday. “Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it,” tweeted the Spotify Status account moments later. “Thanks for your reports!”
Spotify has over 406 million total monthly active users, as Variety pointed out.
Upon attempting to use Spotify, many were greeted with a message telling them their username and password were incorrect. The web browser version shows a page reading, “We’re all mixed up. Refresh this page or try again later. It may take some time to get things up again.”
Per the Wall Street Journal, voice and text messaging service Discord is also facing major outage issues. As of 2022, the hugely popular app has more than 300 million registered users, of which over 140 million are active.
Spotify is the primary source of music for many across the world. Without access to the service, for well over an hour, users flocked to Twitter to voice their frustration. Some noted they initially thought their accounts had been compromised due to the nature of the error message.
