Users in America and Europe have reported problems when trying to log in or use TikTok, Spotify and Pinterest. While for TikTok and Pinterest there are troubles with logging in, Spotify has problems with streaming music, and disappointed users are flooding Twitter to complain about their non-working apps.
The problems are mainly reported in the US, the UK and some parts of Europe.

However, some see a silver lining.

TikTok is a Chinese-based app for short amusing videos with sound, while Spotify is a service for streaming music, and Pinterest is a pinboard-style photo-sharing website. The three apps have only become more popular during the coronavirus lockdown, especially TikTok, where new viral challenges are posted daily.
