It’s one of the most popular music streaming apps in the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But it appears that Spotify<\/a> has crashed this afternoon.\u00a0<\/p>\n

According to Down Detector, the problems started at around 13:30 BST, and are affecting users across the UK.\u00a0<\/p>\n

So far, more than 4,000 problems have been logged – with the majority of reports complaining about the Spotify app.\u00a0<\/p>\n

While Spotify is yet to comment on the outage<\/a>, several frustrated users have flocked to X to discuss the problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘Spotify is down again,’ one user tweeted, alongside a screenshot of the app and a tombstone with the Spotify logo.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Another tweeted a screenshot of an error page, and asked: ‘is spotify down or am i going crazy’.<\/p>\n

And one joked: ‘istg [I swear to god] I’m in the middle of a f***ing workout.’<\/p>\n

MailOnline tried to access the Spotify app on an iPhone and did not experience any issues.\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, several users have reported issues accessing content, including their downloads.\u00a0<\/p>\n

‘This content isn’t available right now,’ a reported error message reads.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

MailOnline has contacted Spotify for comment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The outage comes shortly after\u00a0Spotify<\/a>\u00a0made a subtle change that left its users fuming.<\/p>\n

In a recent update, Spotify altered the layout of the home screen, moving the ‘Your Library’ tab aside to make room for a new ‘Create’ button.<\/p>\n

For the app’s daily users, this small change has been wildly frustrating as it replaces the most-used feature with an option many customers never touch.<\/p>\n

Tapping the ‘+’ button in the bottom right-hand corner, users can access options to add a new playlist, collaborate with friends, or join a ‘Blend’ with another user.<\/p>\n

Spotify Premium users also have the option of accessing a ‘Jam’ to listen with other users in real time or use the ‘AI<\/a> Playlist’ feature.<\/p>\n

In a blog post announcing the changes, Spotify wrote: ‘We wanted to simplify access to our music-curation tools.’\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

However, the new options have not gone down well with fans on social media, with one writing: ‘People who design apps have no regard for muscle memory.’<\/p>\n
