Developing: Cross-platform technical issues affecting millions of users

https://www.businessinsider.com/spotify-tiktok-tinder-venmo-other-apps-down-some-users-2020-5

Spotify, TikTok, Tinder, and a bunch of other popular apps are currently experiencing technical issues for some users.

The outage-measuring website Down Detector is reporting outages for numerous popular internet services, also including Pinterest, Waze, Venmo, Bumble, and SoundCloud. It's not clear what — if anything — links the simultaneous outages.

The outages do not appear to be affecting all users: Spotify is currently down for some Business Insider employees, but functional for others, for example.

Other impacted apps and services include Nextdoor, The New York Times, Walmart, Viber, Pandora, and UPS, according to Down Detector's tracking.
