Spotify Error Code 111

Recently, there have been multiple complaints from users all over the globe that while trying to use the widely popular music app Spotify, they have encountered the following 111 Error Code on their respective devices. 

And since you are already here reading the following article, I believe that you too have encountered the same problem and want a fix for it at the earliest. 

Having said that, the primary reason for such an error to occur may be due to two main reasons. Either there is a network or connectivity issue preventing your device from retrieving data from the company server, or issues on the server end itself. 

Whatever may be the case, the troubleshooting fixes to them are pretty much the same and generally applicable for all such similar issues.

However, it is important to note here that, since most often the error is caused due to issues at the server end or network issues. It is best that you wait a few hours till the error gets fixed at the server or ISP end itself.

If the error is prevalent in a particular region or multiple users have reported the same error message at the same time. Then, it is best to just leave it that way to be solved by the Spotify developer team themselves. 

But, if you still want to try out some general fixes as had mentioned above. You may want to try the following fixes as mentioned below:

Fix 2: Clear up Browser Cache 

There may be times when your browser cache may be the one responsible for such an error to occur. 

If so, then the best way to fix it would be to clear up the browser cache and clear up unnecessary data and cookies being saved by your browser.
