What works

Each part of the service, checked from Syria.

Core useWorks

A community test over a Syrian mobile network showed Spotify streaming normally with no VPN, a track playing and the library browsable, where content previously failed to load. Whether the account is registered in Syria was not established.

Landing pageWorks

The Spotify website loaded fully from a Syrian mobile connection, again showing the 'not available in your country' notice.

Sign-upFails

Creating a Spotify account from Syria over a mobile connection failed at the date-of-birth step, which answered "Spotify is currently not available in your country."

Sign-inWorks

A test from Syria showed a signed-in Spotify account's Daily Mixes, Liked Songs and Discover Weekly loading in the web player.

Frequently Asked Questions

Partly. The core use of Spotify works in Syria, but something else about it fails or has not been checked. This page lists what works and what does not.

Many international services blocked access to Syria due to previous sanctions and compliance policies. Even as sanctions are being reviewed, some companies have not yet restored access. Unblock Syria tracks these services and advocates for change.
