This seems an odd issue, as its the app as a whole that isn’t working, rather than streams just not playing. We’ve tested this on a couple of various iOS devices – iPhone 11 Pro and iPad Pro 2020 – and both start up briefly, sometimes show a flash of the music library screen but then crash. Deleting the app and reinstalling or restarting the phone also doesn’t help the situation – we’ve tried both so you don’t have to. Hardly ideal when you want to listen to that crafted playlist while you’re working. While the service seems to still be working on Android, the web and through Sonos streaming speakers, try to open the app on iOS and you’ll be thrown straight back to your homescreen. UPDATE: The Verge is reporting that other apps are affected too, including TikTok and Tinder, and that it might be a Facebook SDK problem. We’re currently investigating, and we’ll keep you posted here!

This news has spread throughout Twitter and Spotify itself has responded. Spotify’s iOS apps seem to be having problems at the minute, with the service crashing on all the iOS devices we tested it on it. It seems that the music streaming service isn’t currently working for some users, with its iOS apps currently completely unresponsive.
