How to check if Spotify is down

Click the button above. IsItGoneDown runs a global test and a local test at once, then layers in live community votes from other Spotify users. If both tests pass but other users are reporting issues, you may be hitting a partial outage (e.g. Spotify Connect, podcast delivery, or playlist sync).

Why is Spotify not working?

1. A Spotify-side outage

Spotify has occasional full outages where the app simply won't play anything. Community reports spike quickly because it affects hundreds of millions of users simultaneously.

2. Offline mode stuck on

Spotify sometimes flips itself into offline mode without obvious warning. Check Settings → Offline Mode — if it's on and you didn't turn it on, toggle it off.

3. Premium expired

If Premium lapsed (expired card, cancelled family plan), Spotify reverts to free with ads — or locks features entirely in regions where free isn't available.

4. Device limit reached

Spotify limits simultaneous playback devices. If "your account is being used elsewhere" appears, that's the issue — not an outage.

5. Corrupted cache

Spotify caches heavily for offline playback. A corrupted cache can cause tracks to error mid-song or simply refuse to play. Clear cache from Settings → Storage.

6. Spotify Connect issue

Connect (casting to other devices) runs on a separate service. If local playback works but casting to a speaker fails, it's a Connect-specific issue.

Is Spotify down for everyone or just me?

Spotify outages usually hit hard and get reported fast. If songs skip silently or only one feature fails (Connect, podcasts, Wrapped), it's more likely a partial issue or local.

Frequently asked questions

Is Spotify down right now?

Run the live check above for global status and community reports.

Why can't I play songs?

Check offline mode, payment status, and cache. Try the web player to isolate.

Why does Spotify say offline?

Sometimes a false state. Log out and back in, or toggle Offline Mode in settings.

Is Spotify Connect down?

Connect runs on a separate service and can fail independently.

Why did my playlists disappear?

Usually a sync issue, not deletion. Log out and back in. Your library is server-side.
