According to the specialized site DowndeTector, thousands of Internet users reported a spotify failure around 2 p.m. Wednesday, April 16. The entire service would not be concerned, but certain features are unavailable.
Can’t listen to music on Spotify on Wednesday April 16? You are not alone. According to the Downdetector site, at least 5,000 people reported a breakdown of the streaming service around 2:25 p.m., with several similar testimonies on Twitter.
According to Numerama’s own observations, all Spotify users are not affected. Music reading is always possible on certain devices, but access to the web platform and connection from the application is impossible. Spotify indicates to the user “That it is not connected”.
Spotify confirms that he is broken down
On the account dedicated to the state of the servers, Spotify reacted quickly to the bug. The company confirms that there are “some problems” and says it is dealing with it. His message was published at 2:45 p.m., fifteen minutes after the start of the breakdown.
Spotify broken down: it doesn’t happen often
According to social networks, several people can no longer connect to their Spotify account. The passage from one song to another would also be laborious, with connection problems.
What’s going on? Spotify is a service that rarely breaks down, unlike larger platforms like Facebook, X or Chatgpt. There is probably a problem on the server side, which the Swedish company will be able to, hopefully, rectify quickly.
Ironically, the Spotify flaw comes a few hours after Deezer’s great announcements, which unveiled a dozen major innovations for its streaming service. The Frenchman dreams of going back against the world number 1, which continues to gain popularity.
Numerama will update this article with information on the resolution of the failure, when Spotify has repaired it.
