Spotify Expands Managed Accounts for Kids to Seven New Markets

Premium Family plan managers gain granular controls with separate recommendation profiles.

Overview

  • Feature is now live for Premium Family subscribers in the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
  • Parents can filter explicit content, block specific songs or artists, and hide video and Canvas while age‑gated interactivity like Messages is unavailable.
  • Each child receives a music‑only profile that supports playlists and personalized features such as daylist and Discover Weekly without affecting the adult’s algorithm or Wrapped.
  • Setup happens in the app via Add a Member and the option to add a listener under 13, with all controls managed by the plan owner.
  • The rollout follows pilots in 10 countries and serves as a more flexible option than the separate Spotify Kids app as platforms expand parental controls.
