Spotify’s back up) – TechCrunch

March 8, 2022 admin

Spotify and Discord both appear to be down.

TechCrunchers and the Twittersphere alike are experiencing difficulty logging in to Spotify. Folks are reporting on Twitter that opening the Spotify app on mobile leads to a login flow, but even the correct username and password results in a failed attempt to in fact log in.

The music streaming company confirmed the issue on Twitter:

Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!

Discord confirmed it’s also experiencing an issue that affects message delivery/receipt.

We’re aware of an issue causing message failures and are working on a fix.

Apologies for the disruption & thx for hanging tight! https://t.co/rq97JXSEFv

We’ve reached out to Spotify and Discord to learn more about the issue and will update when we hear back.

In the meantime, you could always check out the Apple event coverage here at TechCrunch, or…

Update: Spotify responded and basically pointed us to Twitter for updates. So we’ll keep watching Twitter.

Actual response:

We’re aware of the issue and have posted an update on @SpotifyStatus. We’ll post another update when things are back to normal.

Another update: At 2:39pm ET, about an hour after reports started flooding in that Spotify had gone down, @SpotifyStatus said everything seems to be back up and running.
