The Spotify app issues April 2025 have frustrated users around the world. On April 16, over 21,000 UK-based users reported problems via Downdetector. These issues include search glitches, login failures, and internet connection errors within the app.
Spotify addressed the problem through its @SpotifyStatus account on X. The company posted, “We’re aware of some issues right now and are checking them out.” The message didn’t explain the cause or when users can expect a fix.
The disruptions vary. Some users can’t log in or access the app due to internet detection errors. Others, including TechRadar staff, reported that while their saved playlists still play, the search feature and content browsing don’t work.
Reports peaked in the UK. In the U.S., reports surged briefly but quickly dropped to about 200. This suggests the issue might be regional or slowly resolving in certain areas.
The most common error appears on a blue screen reading “Couldn’t load the page.” This message shows up when users try to search for new music or albums not already in their library. Despite this, people can still stream previously downloaded songs and existing playlists.
Social media has flooded with complaints and screenshots. Users continue to share their experiences, pointing to a broader, persistent problem.
Spotify hasn’t shared specific technical details or a timeline for resolution. Users can follow @SpotifyStatus on X for updates. In the meantime, those affected should try using offline playlists or saved content.
These Spotify app issues remind us how reliant people are on streaming services. While many hope for a fast solution, Spotify has yet to confirm when full functionality will return.
