- Spotify's Blend feature lets you create a playlist that mixes your favorite songs with a friend's.
- The Blend playlist updates daily, and comes with a rating that tracks how similar your music tastes are.
- You can find Blend in the Spotify app's "Made for you" menu.
It only takes a few clicks to make any of your Spotify playlists "collaborative," meaning that anyone with the link can add songs to it. This is a great way to mix your musical tastes with a friend's.
But an even easier way to do it is with Spotify's Blend feature. Blend lets you invite a friend to share a playlist, which will automatically fill up with songs that both of you love. It also comes with a "taste match" rating that shows how similar or unique your tastes are. The playlist updates every day, meaning you'll always stay in sync.
Here's how to get your Blend playlist.
How to make a Spotify Blend playlist
Both users will need a Spotify account to make a Blend playlist, but neither needs a Premium subscription. The steps are the same on both iPhone and Android.
1. Open the Spotify app and tap the Search option at the bottom of your screen.
2. Underneath the Browse all heading, tap Made for you .
3. Tap the box with a plus sign inside of it labeled Create a Blend .
4. You'll now have to invite a friend to share the playlist with you. Tap Invite and share the link — you can quickly send it using your device's default options, or just tap Copy to send the link manually.
5. Once you send the link, have your friend open it on their own phone and tap the Join option that appears.
Your playlist will appear right away, along with a slideshow that tells you how similar your music tastes are. If you want to watch the slideshow again once it's over, tap the swirling icon above your playlist's name.
Your Blend playlist stores songs from both of your libraries. If you're not sure which song belongs to who, check out the initial next to the tracks — it shows who "added" the song.
Finally, if you tap the three dot icon underneath your playlist's name, you'll find even more options. Use this menu to share your Blend playlist, leave it, add the current songs to a permanent playlist, and more.
