Music is powerful in bringing people together, and Only You celebrates the unique ways in which eligible users listen. As well as Only You, Blend is another personalized feature Spotify is rolling out. Blend, currently in beta beta, gives two friends the opportunity to merge their musical tastes into a customized playlist made specifically for them.

Daily updates will be made to Blend. If you invite a friend who owns a Spotify free or premium plan, Blend will adjust automatically based on how the user’s tastes change over time.

The following is how to do it:

1. Open the Made For You hub on your mobile device, then select “Create Blend.”.

2. To invite a friend, tap “Invite” and send a single-use invitation as a message or email. (You will need to generate a new invitation for each friend you want to blend with.)

3. Your friend will receive a custom track list once they accept the invite and join Blend, filled with songs you already love, along with recommendations based on a combination of the two of yours preferences.

4. This also makes it easy to determine how each friend has influenced the track choice. The profile icons next to each track can be found by checking them.

Globally available on iOS and Android, Blend is a mobile-only experience. The Blend feature is currently in beta, and Spotify will continue to improve it with user feedback over time to ensure that it deliver’s the best possible listening experience.
