Users report problems with the Spotify music streaming service around the world
Spotify outages are rare, and the last major one happened back in August after the company forgot to renew its TLS certificate. The service was down for an hour back then, but we’ve checked and the TLS certificate doesn’t appear to be the source of the issues this time around.
Among the biggest problems – 87% of users reported failures with streaming music, 7% – with the service website, 4% – with the work of Spotify on Sonos.
Spotify also experienced problems earlier this year during a broader Facebook iOS SDK problem. The app was crashing on mobile devices due to a Facebook iOS SDK bug, but today’s outage doesn’t appear to be related to any Facebook issues as it was widespread across both desktop clients and mobile.
The largest music streaming service Spotify presented a rating of the best artists, songs and albums – 2020, as well as told a little about the global trends of the year.
