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. ## Parental 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. ## Access 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. ## Safety 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. ## Easy 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. ## A 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. ## Sources covering this story - https://www.androidcentral.com/apps-software/spotify/managed-accounts-are-free-on-spotify-this-is-everything-parents-need-to-know — --- _Summary written by Brifing from the original reporting.
