Managed Accounts: Spotify's New Way to Exclude Kids Songs from Your History
Managed Accounts and Parental Controls
Spotify has introduced managed accounts as a way for parents to effectively filter the music their children listen to. This pilot program allows guardians to customize content accessibility for kids under 13, mitigating unwanted tracks from influencing algorithmic recommendations.
Features of Managed Accounts
- Playback Control: Parents can manage playback of videos and Canvas.
- Track and Artist Restrictions: Guardians decide which songs and artists are available for children.
- Available Regions: Launching in Denmark, New Zealand, and Sweden with plans for broader access.
With these enhancements in the Premium Family plan, Spotify aims to provide better experiences for parents and their children, ultimately improving customer acquisition.
