Swedish streaming service Spotify went offline for an unknown reason for more than an hour on Tuesday, the company said, as millions of users worldwide reported they had been logged out and were unable to log back on.
"Something's not quite right, and we're looking into it. Thanks for your reports!" the company wrote on Twitter.
Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!
