2025-04-16T14:32:52.331ZSpotify last posted on X shortly after the outage started and it hasn’t provided any additional updates since. Presumably, the team is working hard on the fix, but it would be nice to get some kind of news about how far along it is and when we can expect our beloved music streaming service to come back.

Spotify is still hovering around 50,000 outage reports on Down Detector. However, we’ve seen our first small downswing from 48,000 reports to 43,000 reports. That could just be that users have gotten sick of reporting the extended outage, or it could be that some people are finally getting Spotify to work on their devices.
Either way, this is the first positive sign we’ve seen since Spotify went down this morning.

The outage is all over the U.S., though big cities have a little more density in reports. Of course, that’s because more users are there doing reports, and it is not necessarily indicative of the problem being centered on big cities.
In the case of this outage, it seems like it’s out everywhere.

We’ll add an update to this live blog, but we’ve heard from out sister site TechRadar that the company is rolling out a fix for search. “The issue with Search has been addressed and an update has begun rolling out to all users,” said Spotify to the publication.

Unfortunately, whatever server issues Spotify is dealing with are affecting its website, as the status page is coming up with a 502 server error. While it would be nice to be able to see what’s happening and it when it’s coming back, we’ll dig into social media to find out any information we can and bring it to you as we find it.

The reports are coming in fast and furious from users on Down Detector, with Spotify currently sitting at around 45,000 reports. That’s one of the higher outage reports from the beloved streaming service, so the outage is most certainly widespread.
