Audio streaming platform Spotify on Sunday, experienced a significant outage that lasted approximately three hours, impacting over 40,000 users in the United States at its peak, according to Downdetector.com.
The service, which monitors outages using various sources such as user reports, indicated that by 3 p.m. ET (1900 GMT), fewer than 600 users were still experiencing issues.
“Everything’s looking much better now!” Spotify announced via a post on social media platform X, assuring users that the problem had largely been resolved.
