Spotify is buggy today
I first noticed the Spotify issues when trying to search for a new album – it served me the “couldn’t load the page” message above, and that’s still the case now.
Strangely, I’m still able to stream music that’s already in my collection and playlists, so the issues seem localized to some functions of the app. Some on the TechRadar team also don’t have any issues at all.
The reports on Downdetector aren’t dropping though (particularly in the UK), so it seems to be more than a temporary blip…
That’s a pretty big spike…
Right now, the biggest spike in reports of Spotify issues is in the UK – at the time of writing, over 21,000 Spotify users have reported problems with the smartphone app and web player on Downdetector, and social media platforms like X are also filling up with complaints.
Interestingly, there’s been a smaller spike in Downdetector reports in the US, which has now dramatically fallen to around 200. Hopefully, this means the problems could be short-lived, but so far we don’t know what’s causing them.
