Receiving Collaborative Playlist Invitations on iPhone

[yourninatchka]

Is there a way to receive invitations for collaborative playlists from your Spotify followers / followees on an iPhone? Recently my friend created one of these playlists and invited me to join the collaboration but I was only able to receive the invitation and link to the playlist from my MacBook Pro. For some reason it wasn't showing up on my phone. Am I doing something wrong or is this not an option yet?

Hey @yourninatchka! Thanks for coming to the community!

You can just open the collaborative playlist on your phone, and then you can tap 'Follow'. After that you can add songs to it.

Keep rocking! 🙂

thanks for your response! 

i actually tried to search for the playlist on my phone (my friend informed me of the playlist she created via text so i knew the name to search for) and the search yielded no results. 

however when i looked at spotify on my laptop, there was a notification that the playlist was shared with me, and it also showed up when i did a manual search.

i'm probably doing something wrong but just to clarify, in theory are we supposed to receive the same notifications / messages on our phones that we receive on our computers? and likewise, the same playlist access, etc.?

thanks again!

Hey @yourninatchka!

Collaborative playlists can't be public since people would just add a lot of songs to it. Could you ask the creator of the playlist to send the link to your phone? 

Let me know how it goes.

Take care! 🙂
