Reminder on how to use the Spotify Blend feature
To create a blend:
Spotify allows you to add a max of 10 friends in a Blend, so the steps to do it are as follows: Go to the search tab > enter Blend > tap on the first result > select a Blend > tap on the Invite option and send it to your preferred friends.
After they join the Blend you created, you can find the Blend in Made for You > Your Library (under Playlists).
To blend with artists
Spotify Blend also allows you to blend with your favorite artists and their invite links, to see whether your music tastes are a match.
- Get the artist’s Blend invite link (it can be given in the artist’s social media account, or in the Artists pick playlist on their Spotify account).
- Tap on that link, and this will display the invite on the Spotify app.
- On the Spotify app, tap on Go to Blend.
To share your blended story:
- Navigate to the Blend playlist and tap on the three dots.
- From the options, choose View Blend story.
- Tap on Share this story.
To leave a Blend:
- Navigate to the Blend playlist.
- Tap on the three dots.
- Tap on Leave Blend.

- Open your phone's Settings.
- Scroll down and tap on Apps.
- Find Spotify and tap on it.
- Tap on Clear Cache.
- Lastly, tap on Clear Cash.
Update the Spotify app
Oftentimes, the Spotify Blend feature has some bugs and errors made while creating and joining Blend. It means that you need to update the Spotify app to its latest version.
In addition to this, a recent update coming from the Spotify Community Forum Moderator reported that the moderator is actually asking users to update the Spotify app on their devices which could potentially fix their blend playlist not working.
Delete and create a new Blend playlist
Another must-try fix is to simply delete the Blend playlist you created and make a new one from scratch.
Uninstall and reinstall the Spotify app
