Spotify Suffers Major Global Outage, Affecting Israeli Users
Spotify experienced significant disruptions worldwide on Tuesday evening, with thousands of users in Israel reporting issues connecting to the music streaming service. Reports began accumulating on Downdetector in the afternoon, detailing problems with login, song searches, playlist accessibility, and overall connectivity. Many users initially suspected personal device or home internet malfunctions.
Some users reported partial service functionality, particularly through the web player, while others faced complete disconnection. Social media platforms were flooded with complaints from affected individuals.
Spotify officially acknowledged the widespread issues and stated that the problem was under intensive investigation. As of Tuesday evening, the company had not provided a cause for the outage or an estimated time for full service restoration.
This incident follows a separate, shorter disruption earlier on Tuesday affecting Cellcom TV broadcasts in Israel, where users struggled to stream Channel 14 live for approximately 20 minutes before service was restored.
