Discontinuation Notice: The information on this page is no longer updated with new information.

Spotify occasionally experiences temporary problems and outages that leave millions without access to their favorite music and podcasts whenever the platform is down and not working.

Although not our wish, it still remains highly likely this will be true in 2023. Granted, we will be monitoring the outage status of Spotify and update this article any time the service is down or not working throughout the year.

Following are some instructions that’ll help you go through this tracker easily:

  • This is a text-only tracker that focuses on highlighting the incidents of outage and/ the service in question going down or becoming temporarily dysfunctional for some reason.
  • The outage reports highlighted in this tracker are based on user reports on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, along with Downdetector – a platform that monitors real-time problems and outages in popular services.
  • The time of the update is mentioned in IST and is in 24-hour format. Also note, the text updates will show up in ascending order with the latest coming at the bottom.
  • That’s all for the instructions.

    Note: Our team is trying hard to keep this tracker updated with all the latest info. However, if and when you feel something is missing, wrong, or should be added, do not hesitate to tip us in the comments or through email.
