Spotify, the renowned music and podcast streaming platform, occasionally faces temporary issues and disruptions, leaving millions of users without access to their beloved content.
Unfortunately, it’s highly likely that such incidents will continue to occur in 2023. To keep users informed, a text-only tracking system has been developed to highlight instances when Spotify experiences downtime or temporary malfunctions.
This tracker gathers data from user reports on social media platforms like Twitter and Reddit, along with the monitoring service Downdetector, ensuring real-time updates on service problems and outages.
All updates on the tracker are presented in Indian Standard Time (IST) and follow a 24-hour format, with the most recent incidents appearing at the bottom.
