Updated: Both Discord and Spotify are down
Update: Both Spotify and Discord claim that services are back up and running.
Original Story: If you can’t use Spotify or Discord right now, don’t worry, most of us can’t since both services are down.
Both Spotify and Discord announced the platforms are experiencing outages on Tuesday morning. There are no details yet as to what’s causing these disruptions, but both companies are aware something is up.
“We’re aware of an issue causing message failures and are working on a fix,” Discord said on Twitter. “Apologies for the disruption thx for hanging tight!”
Spotify posted a similar statement.
“Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports,” reads Spotify’s statement on Twitter.
It’s a massive annoyance for those who use Spotify and Discord daily, especially the latter for work purposes. Yet there’s not much anyone can do right now. Downdector, a service that monitors the connectivity status of online platforms, is listing issues on Amazon Web Services, WhatsApp, Facebook, and many others.
