Spotify want to ensure that any parents or guardians using the app feel comfortable and secure with letting their kids use it on their own by knowing themselves that they&#8217;re having a fun but safe time streaming music or listening to audio stories.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\nhttps:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=gZFpiFxrXrM\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Parents, read on to learn how you can access your child\u2019s Spotify Kids listening history and block songs or stories in the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol><li>Log into the \u201cgrown-ups\u201d section of Spotify Kids.<\/li><li>Tap the account you want to check out.<\/li><li>Head to \u201cListening History.\u201d<\/li><li>From here, tap the \u201cblock\u201d icon beside a track to hide it.<\/li><li>Once hidden, that song won\u2019t be visible anywhere in the child\u2019s app.<\/li><li>Note: Blocking a song only removes it from that child\u2019s account so you can customize what each kid is able to listen to.<\/li><li>You can unblock content at any time by revisiting the PIN-protected \u201cListening History\u201d or \u201cBlocked Content\u201d and tapping the icon again.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Spotify launched their Kids app last November in Ireland and then the UK. <a href=\"http:\/\/routenote.com\/blog\/spotify-kids-comes-to-the-us-canada-and-france-at-the-best-possible-time\/\">It is now also available in the U.S., Canada, and France<\/a>. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parents have been given more control to make sure their kids are enjoying Spotify whilst ensuring they don&#8217;t see and hear anything unwanted.
