Spotify experienced technical problems worldwide Tuesday, with users unable to access the app or site. One of the music industry’s biggest music and audio streaming services, Spotify has made headlines in recent months due to its controversy over the spread of COVID misinformation on Joe Rogan’s podcast which is available to stream on the platform.
Users began complaining at around Tuesday afternoon – citing error messages that said the users’ username and password were incorrect, and logging them out. One error message read, “We’re all mixed up. Refresh this page or try again later. It may take some time to get things up again.”
Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!
