Because of the outage, users had to keep on logging in to their account but who exactly would remember their music app password? A Twitter user named @Deepz137 tweets the same, “Me trying to remember my Spotify username and password after it logged me out for no reason”.

@frajer _artur says, “Apple when Spotify suddenly goes down.. 🙄”. Coincidentally, Spotify went down at the same time as Apple was having its press event where they launched new products in the market. Apple Music has its own fan base but when the Spotify outage started many people shifted to Apple Music for some time.

@strabsupremacy tweets a very harsh but true reality with a meme template. Sorry for the personal level attack.

@DevTopia_ expresses by tweeting, “Dusting off Pandora after Spotify went down”. Pandora is another music app that is quite popular among music lovers. Pandora Music could be an alternative option for people including Apple Music, Wynk Music, and many more.
