On Wednesday morning, the music streaming service said it's aware of "some issues" and looking into it.

Issues seem to span across multiple platforms — Business Insider tried to access Spotify's web player, but the site returned only an error message. When attempting to load up the iOS app, BI encountered a pop-up that reads, "Something went wrong," followed by "Have another go?" with an option to refresh the page. We also ran into issues accessing Spotify on the Android app.
BI has reached out to Spotify for additional comment.
