Spotify Offers Free Managed Accounts for Parents
A dedicated music experience for kids under 13.
1What is a Managed Account?
Spotify has removed the Premium lock on Managed Accounts, allowing parents to create free accounts for children under 13. These accounts aim to provide a safe and private music experience for kids.
2Parental Controls
Managed Accounts allow parents to customize their child's music experience. Parents can filter explicit content and manually manage the playback of specific artists or songs.
3Access to Music Library
Children can access Spotify's music library and popular playlists. Personalized lists like Discover Weekly, Daylist, and Made for You are tailored to the child's music taste.
4Safety Measures
Managed Accounts are kept away from social features. Kids cannot send messages or upload custom profile pictures. Additionally, accounts are automatically made private and cannot be discovered via search.
5Easy Setup
Parents can easily create a Managed Account through the Spotify app. The setup process is simple and user-friendly. Free accounts will display ads, but these ads provide tips on how to better use the app.
6A Big Convenience for Parents
Spotify's move provides a significant convenience for parents. Allowing kids to have their own accounts ensures that family accounts remain secure and organized. This change will help parents better manage their children's music experience.
