Is Spotify down right now?

Check the live status box at the top of the main page. If it says DOWN, Spotify's having a rough patch and it's not just you! If it says UP but you're still having issues, read on for some handy troubleshooting tips.

I can't log in or play music. What should I do?

First, don't panic—Spotify hiccups happen! Try these quick fixes:

• Restart the app: Close Spotify completely and open it again.
• Check your internet: Make sure you're online. Try switching between WiFi and mobile data.
• Log out and back in: Sometimes a fresh login does the trick.
• Update Spotify: Outdated apps can be buggy. Head to your app store and grab the latest version.
• Restart your device: The classic "turn it off and on again" really does work!

Spotify says I'm offline, but my internet works. Why?

This is a classic! Try these steps:

• Toggle your device's Airplane Mode on and off.
• Switch WiFi networks or try mobile data.
• Clear Spotify's cache (in the app settings).
• If you're on a work or school network, some firewalls block Spotify. Try a different network if you can.

Music won't play or keeps skipping. Help!

Annoying, right? Here's what to try:

• Check if Spotify is down (see the top of this page).
• Restart the app and your device.
• Make sure you have enough storage space—Spotify needs room to groove.
• Try logging out and back in.
• If you're using Bluetooth or casting, disconnect and reconnect your device.

Why can't I download songs or listen offline?

A few things to check:

• Are you a Premium user? Downloads are a Premium perk.
• Make sure you have enough storage space on your device.
• Spotify needs to go online at least once every 30 days to keep downloads active.
• If downloads are stuck, try removing and re-downloading the playlist or album.

Spotify works on my phone but not my computer (or vice versa). What gives?

Sometimes one device gets grumpy. Try logging out everywhere (in your account settings), then log back in on the device that's acting up. Also, check for app updates on all your devices.
