On Tuesday night, Spotify and Discord faced disruptions as several users reported that they were unable to log into their accounts, either from their mobile devices or via the web. The disruptions occurred late Tuesday around 11:30 p.m. IST.
Soon, Spotify and Discord recognized that their platforms were facing some issues. Their services were mostly restored to their original lineup after going down for a few hours. It is not known why the apps were removed.
Tweeting the developments, Discord wrote at 1:33 a.m. IST, “Discord is back up and running for messages, calls and streams! We’re still working on a few things like attachments and input events, but those should be back live soon. Thanks for the patience everyone~”. Spotify also reported that “everything is much better” and asked users to contact their customer support in case they still need help.
