Thousands of iOS users across the world are having issues accessing mobile phone apps.
Apps including Spotify, Tinder, TikTok and Facebook have been affected by the apparent problems.
Although not yet confirmed, early reports suggest the outages are being caused by Facebook's SDK.
Apps use the SDK to manage user logins. Facebook said on its developer platform this morning that it was investigating errors which had surfaced.
Spotify bosses confirmed that 'something's out of tune', and said they are investigating the cause of the outage.
Currently, almost 10,000 people have reported issues with the streaming site, with problems being registered in London, Manchester, Birmingham and Glasgow.
It also appears European countries including the Netherlands and parts of Germany are having trouble on the platform.
According to website DownDetector, 59% of the 9000+ issues reported have been to do with streaming music, with many users reporting crashes on the mobile app.
Something’s out of tune. We’re currently investigating, and we’ll keep you posted here!

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
