How to make a Spotify Blend on Android

Are you tired of listening to the same songs on a loop? Are you curious to know what your friends, family, or favorite musicians are jamming to? If yes, it’s time to create a Spotify Blend playlist on Android. This handy feature will auto-create a playlist with your favorite songs and tracks liked by the people you want to Blend with. Sounds perfect!

In this article, I will explain how to make a Spotify Blend playlist on Android and show how to effortlessly manage the playlists and use its features optimally. Let’s get started.

What is Spotify Blend?

As mentioned earlier, Spotify Blend is a fun feature that creates a shared playlist with your friends, family, and even artists. Unlike Collaborative Playlists in Apple Music, Blend playlists are auto-generated by the streaming platform using its smart algorithms and interface.   

First, the app analyzes the song listening patterns of all the Blend members on Spotify. Next, it creates a playlist featuring the songs streamed by all the members, in groups or individually.

This way, Spotify Blend offers a unique playlist with songs depicting different genres, artists, music, and languages. Sounds fun!
