Spotify disruption affects the app and sign-ins

Thursday 16 July has brought unwelcome news for Spotify users. People are reporting problems with the service, chiefly involving the app, while others say they are unable to sign in.

For now, it is unclear whether the Spotify outage will continue, or whether it is merely a temporary fault or an update. In the meantime, users are logging the bug on DownDetector. They will therefore need to remain patient until normal service is restored.
