Spotify Cracks Down on Mod APKs to Stop Freeloaders
Nov. 27, 2024Did your Spotify app suddenly stop working? Are you here looking for a reason?Well, you’re not alone, as many users are facing issues using the streaming service on their end. But it looks like the problem isn’t with Spotify, but the app you are using. Spotify is cracking down on modded APKs as well as cracked versions of the app globally.
On November 26, frantic posts started popping out on X, Reddit, and Instagram where many users reported that theSpotify app had stopped working for them. Now this isn’t a Spotify issue as the regular Android, iOS, and Web apps are working fine and dandy. The change Spotify made only seems to affect the modded version of the music streaming app.
As a music listener, Spotify is my go-to destination. But the app is annoying to use if you don’t wish to pay for the Premium. So I understand why many decide to download these mod APKs. However, I don’t condone using such apps not just because of piracy but also cause they put your private data at risk.
The streaming company has yet to speak about this crackdown officially. In the meantime, what are your thoughts on this? Were you using a Spotify mod, and if so, would you be switching to the official app now? Let us know in the comments below.
