Spotify Users Hit With Second Outage in Two Weeks (Gizmodo)

Spotify users reported outages on the streaming service beginning at about 1 p.m. ET on Thursday, saying the primary issues are app-related.

The company first suggests restarting the Spotify app and updating it if any technical issues arise, and as a third option, uninstalling and reinstalling the app. Users are complaining that the app won’t load or allow them to stream content including music, [audiobooks](https://gizmodo.com/apple-audio-books-ai-authors-ebooks-1849952963), and [podcasts](https://gizmodo.com/7-podcasts-us-government-fbi-cdc-fda-social-security-1849717581). The layoffs have not been stated as a reason for the recent outages. A Spotify spokesperson directed Gizmodo to the company’s Twitter profile for updated information in an email but did not respond to follow-up requests about what caused the outage or how it was fixed. Users who face future problems with the Spotify app can first try contacting the SpotifyCares team who can help detect potential tech problems with the system. Thanks for your reports!” Nearly three hours after the first reports came in, Spotify announced it is back up and running, although some users are posting on DownDetector that they’re still having trouble accessing the app.
