Spotify Expands Managed Accounts for Kids on Premium Family to Seven Markets

Parents get granular controls to shape kids' listening without skewing their own recommendations.

Overview

  • The feature is now rolling out in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
  • Access is limited to Premium Family subscribers, with setup in the app under Add a Member by choosing Add a listener aged under 13.
  • Parents can apply an explicit-content filter, block specific artists or songs, and hide video features such as Canvas.
  • Children use a separate, music-only profile with personalized recommendations, no podcasts, and no access to age-gated features like Messages.
  • The launch follows pilots in 10 countries, with outlets reporting the Family plan at about $19.99 per month and framing the move as part of a broader push for stronger parental controls on major platforms.
