Spotify was down earlier on Sunda, with users across social media reporting that the app and website weren’t working, and for those of us at The Verge who tried we saw the same issues.
Downdetector showed a spike in the number of reports about problems with the music streaming service that started at about 10:40AM ET. Spotify said it was working on the issue, and now it appears to be resolved, with the number of reports falling off sharply and a new messages from @SpotifyStatus saying “Everything’s looking much better now!”
Everything’s looking much better now! Give@SpotifyCares a shout if you still need help.

The outage affected both the app and the website — while the app wouldn’t play music, the website was having trouble loading. When I attempted to visit during the outage, I received a server error — let us know if you’re still having any problems
