Spotify makes it easier for parents to control their kids’ content | Infinium-tech
Spotify is launching a premium family-specific feature called Managed Accounts, which gives parents more control over their kids’ Spotify. The new feature is launching in select markets like the US, Canada, UK, Australia, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.
Parents who are Premium Family account holders can now filter explicit content, ban certain songs, albums or artists, and hide short videos that play along with specific tracks. Additionally, the messaging feature has been completely removed from children’s accounts. These restrictions apply to children under 13 years of age.
Notably, these managed accounts are separate from the dedicated Spotify Kids app.
Of course, kids are still free to create their own playlists and songs, and they’ll get suggestions from Spotify’s algorithms based on their listening habits. These suggestions will also differ from the tracks and artists suggested by parents.
