Spotify has introduced an in-app parental controls for listeners under 13 on family plans . The feature, called " managed accounts ," will initially be piloted in Denmark, New Zealand, and Sweden.
The new controls allow parents to restrict access to explicit content , including videos, music, and Canvas videos - the looping visuals that accompany music playback. Additionally, parents can make granular decisions about which artists or tracks their children can access.
The feature aims to provide a middle ground between unrestricted access and the more limited Spotify Kids app. It also addresses the issue of mixed recommendations on shared accounts by giving each family member their own profile with personalised content suggestions.
Parents can enable the feature from the Accounts page in the Spotify app by selecting "Add a listener aged under 13" and following the setup instructions.
