Spotify suddenly received an influx of reports on the outage tracking site Downdetector around 10:20 am Pacific.

The company actually acknowledged something was happening on X before reports starting hitting Downdetector.

"We’re aware of some issues right now with the app and are checking them out!" the post reads.

Spotify has not announced that any fixes have been applied.
