The company has expanded <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2025-10-14\/spotify-family-plan-managed-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">managed accounts<\/a>, a Premium Family plan feature that lets parents create supervised Spotify profiles for children under 13 (or the local market equivalent).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After successful pilots in 10 markets (New Zealand, Sweden, Denmark, Spain, Italy, Portugal, Brazil, Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia), Spotify is now rolling the feature out more widely to the US, UK, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and the Netherlands.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What are managed accounts?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Managed accounts give young listeners their own space to enjoy music,complete with personal playlists, likes, and recommendations. Meanwhile, parents still stay in control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/pr-newsroom-wp\/1\/2025\/10\/GenAlphaHome.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2025-10-14\/spotify-family-plan-managed-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>For Spotify, it\u2019s another step toward building tailored listening experiences for every age group.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>What parents can control<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Under managed accounts, parents of Family Plan managers can:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li>Control access to explicit content<\/li><li>Limit playback of certain artists and songs<\/li><li>Hide video and Canvas visuals for songs<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify also limits interactive features, such as Messages, to help ensure a safer environment for kids.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img src=\"https:\/\/storage.googleapis.com\/pr-newsroom-wp\/1\/2025\/10\/GenAlphaManage.gif\" alt=\"\"\/><figcaption><em>Image credits: <a href=\"https:\/\/newsroom.spotify.com\/2025-10-14\/spotify-family-plan-managed-accounts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Spotify<\/a><\/em><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3>How to set up a managed account<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Setting up a managed account is easy. Family Plan managers only need to follow a few steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Go to your Spotify account page in the Spotify app<\/li><li>Select \u201cAdd a Member\u201d<\/li><li>Choose \u201cAdd a listener aged under 13 (or local market equivalent)\u201d<\/li><li>Follow the prompts to complete setup<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Once created, parents can update or adjust their child\u2019s managed account settings at any time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3>Why it matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>For parents, managed accounts bring peace of mind. Kids can enjoy their own music world, and parents can relax knowing it\u2019s safe. A big plus? No more worrying about your recommendations or Spotify Wrapped being taken over by whatever your child is listening to.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For Spotify, the update reinforces its goal of catering to audiences of all kinds. With managed accounts, Spotify\u2019s family audience can benefit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>At its core, managed accounts give families control and flexibility. Parents decide what\u2019s appropriate, kids get a sense of independence, and everyone gets to discover and enjoy music their way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/upload-your-music-to-spotify-for-free\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Get your music onto Spotify and in front of audiences everywhere with RouteNote.
