Spotify Rolls Out New Features for its Premium Family Plan

Spotify is rolling out brand-new features for the subscribers of its Family Plan. These upcoming features shall allow parents and guardians to have increased control over the kind of music their kids are listening to. The feature has been rolled out for Ireland, and it will soon be coming to other places as well, granted the Family Plan is available for the particular country. This feature shall enable adults to add an Explicit Content Filter on the accounts of minors. This will ensure that kids are not able to play any music that is deemed to be explicit by Spotify. Kids will not be able to change the restriction, and it will be password protected. Hence, only the parent or guardian will be able to enable or disable the filter.

The Family Plan of Spotify was announced five years ago in the year 2014. This plan allows a maximum of six individuals from a household to share a heavily discounted subscription of Spotify. Given that a single monthly Spotify Premium subscription is priced at $9.99, family plan subscription costs only $14.99 per month. But apart from an obscure requirement that needed all the plan members residing in the same house, this plan did not earlier have any features that were specially created for families.

The holder of the Spotify family plan master account shall be able to set and tweak parental controls. All the sub-account holders in the household shall not be able to enable or disable the filter without a password. The control of the filter can be accessed via the Family Hub. Family Hub is the place wherein one can add and remove people and change the family address.

Apart from the brand-new parental control feature, the music streaming giant is also rolling out a Family Mix. This feature shall provide customized playlist curated from the music listening habits of the user accounts present in the Family Plan. As per Spotify, users will be able to personalize the playlists as per their likings.

Here is a gist of all the new features coming to Spotify’s Family Plan

  • Parental Controls: Adults can now filter content on all the accounts in the plan. This feature is password-protected.
  • Family Mix: Household members will get individual access to customized playlists.
  • Family Hub: Users will be able to organize the account settings in a single platform.
  • Six Users: In the Family Plan, you can have up to six different accounts.

With the help of these new features, parents will be able to control and monitor their kid’s listening habits.
