Attention all music lovers: Spotify, the popular music streaming service, experienced a widespread outage this morning. According to reports from Downdetector, a site that tracks online service disruptions, the issues started around 6 a.m. PT and continued to escalate 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 problem and is actively working to resolve it. They've taken to social media to reassure users, stating, "We are aware of the outage and working to resolve it as soon as possible." Additionally, Spotify has debunked any rumors suggesting that the outage was due to a security hack, confirming that such reports are false.
