Go to downdetector.com and search “Spotify.” If others are reporting issues, it’s not just you — wait it out.

If Spotify suddenly stops working (won’t open, keeps crashing, songs won’t play, or you see a blank/black screen), try these steps in order. Most issues are fixed by #1 or #2.

Let me know if one of these fixes it — or if you're seeing a specific error message. Happy to help further.
