Dec. 15 (UPI) — Spotify said Monday an unknown glitch hampered service for thousands of users of the music streamer.
The streaming platform Spotify experienced a brief disruption to its services in the morning hours, according to updates on social media.
“All clear! Thanks for your patience,” Spotify Status posted on X at 10:34 a.m. local time.
Spotify first acknowledged the issue around 9:45 a.m. local time. But the cause remains unclear.
“We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out!” officials wrote in the morning.
At one point, Downdetector showed more than 10,000 reports on the issue.
The company followed up roughly an hour later confirming the outage had been resolved by 10:34 a.m. local time.
In May, Spotify announced that Apple had approved its app update following a federal court ruling that found the tech giant in violation of an earlier injunction.
Meanwhile, Spotify said Monday if users still experience issues they can find out more on a community support thread page it posted.
