Attention music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a significant outage starting early this morning. According to reports from Downdetector, issues with Spotify began around 6 a.m. PT and continued to surge throughout the morning. Our team at IGN also encountered difficulties accessing the service, and even when we managed to open the app, it failed to play any music.
Spotify has officially acknowledged the widespread issues and is actively working to resolve them as quickly as possible. The company has also debunked rumors circulating about the outage being caused by a security hack, confirming these reports to be false.
We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible. The reports of this being a security hack are false.
