Downdetector also shows increased error rates for Search, Play, Facebook, Netflix, Twitter, Spotify, Twitch… What’s going on?

  More users / higher loads due to people being stuck inside? edit: I assumed you meant more in general over the past weeks or months, not right now - if that's the case. But those are indeed some interesting patterns, that so many websites are getting the same spikes.

    That can't be it. These issues are all coinciding and if you look at the graphs they all started at the same time. This points to a lower level networking issue somewhere.

  I think it's just because Downdetector is getting tons of traffic which makes it think people are having more issues than usual with virtually everything. I haven't heard any actual people say Spotify, Twitter, or Twitch are down.

    There are reports on reddit about inability to download apps from Play Store, but I cannot verify. Doesn’t Downdetector count only users who click on “I have a problem with [service]”? It would seem dumb if all charts moved together any time there is a major outage of a single service.

      Oh so that's what that was. I just ran into that issue trying to download a few different apps an hour ago but figured it was my phone. Something is definitely up, too much of a coincidence for these issues to be happening at the same time
