Unable to create Blends or accept invitations

[Maria]

We received reports from users who are unable to create Blends, or accept invitations for Blends.

The error messages "Something went wrong while loading the playlist" and "505 bad getaway" appear.

I tried creating a Blend playlist this morning and keep getting the same error every time I tap the invite button: “Something’s wrong. Please try again later.” I’ve tested this on both an Android device and an Apple device, as well as the web version of Spotify. Both mobile apps are fully updated.

I’ve cleared the cache, uninstalled/reinstalled the apps, created a brand-new account to rule out an account issue, and even gone through additional troubleshooting with a Spotify customer service tech rep. Nothing has made a difference.

Blends are one of the main reasons I choose Spotify over other great streaming platforms, so really hoping this gets resolved soon.

Hey folks! 

We've made some changes backstage. See if there are any pending updates on your end and if there are - install them.
When you're fully up to date, check the Blends behaviour once more.
Keep us posted on how things go.

I have a Pixel 9 pro and Blend is now working on my device 

Thanks

The error message no longer appears; everything is back to normal in my account. Thank you for following up! Best regards.

Hey everyone,

We have great news from our team & things should now be running smoothly again! We also see a few comments confirming this in the thread - appreciate you taking your time to post them 💚

Before giving Blends another go, just make sure to restart the app and update to the latest version.

Cheers!
