(NEXSTAR) — Numerous websites and online services, including Google services, Spotify, DoorDash, and more, are reportedly encountering outages Thursday afternoon amid what appears to be a widespread outage.

Outage tracker DownDetector shows dozens of sites and services are seeing increased rates of user-reported issues.

More than 40,000 such reports have been filed for Spotify, for example. There, users say they’re unable to load or use the app. For Discord, more than 12,000 users have reported issues sending messages or experiencing a server connection error.

Thousands of users have reported troubles accessing or using Google resources like its website, Cloud, Meet, Nest, Drive, and Gmail. The company’s Workspace and Search status dashboards show no incidents as of Thursday afternoon, however.

The Google Cloud status site, however, shows worldwide incidents have been reported. That includes the Google Cloud Console, Dataproc, and Storage.

Google Cloud offers computing services to companies, essentially hosting their apps, data, and more.

One company listed as a Google Cloud client, Shopify, has also seen a spike in outage reports. DownDetector says more than 800 issue reports have been filed, especially with the company’s website.
