Music streaming service Spotify has stopped working.
The online platform has crashed and users are unable to play songs or use the app, they said.
Users were logged out and unable to get back in, some reported. Some said the app had claimed their account had been deleted.

The problem appears to be affecting many countries across the globe, with reports coming in from the US, the UK and Spain.
Among the errors encountered by users was a message saying that their username and password were incorrect.
Another one, which displayed when Spotify users tried to launch songs on the company’s site, said, “We’re all mixed up. Refresh this page or try again later. It may take some time to get things up again.”
Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!

On Spotify’s mobile app, users saw a message saying, “You’ve been logged out. Log back in to start listening.”
Spotify is aware of the problem. “Something’s not quite right, and we’re looking into it. Thanks for your reports!” the app's Status account on Twitter posted.
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
