- Spotify is rolling out a new setting that lets parents stop kids’ and family music from influencing their recommendations.
- Turning it off keeps children’s music out of <a href="https://myappsplus.com/new-apple-watch-features-may-require-new-legal-precedent-for-privacy/” title=”New Apple Watch features may require new legal precedent for privacy”>features like Discover Weekly, Daily Mix, and even 2026 Wrapped.
- The change works retroactively and is available globally on mobile for both Free and Premium users.
After a successful pilot launch, Spotify’s Managed Accounts made their way to all US-based users earlier this summer, allowing parents to give their kids their own space on Spotify, all while maintaining control over their listening environment and habits. However, even when kids have access to their own space on Spotify, there are bound to be moments, like car rides, when you inevitably end up playing their music from your own account. Thankfully, Spotify has come up with a new way to keep that from interfering with your own recommendations.
Managed Accounts keep your kids’ listening history separate from your own, but doesn’t really help when you’re actively playing children’s music from your own account. This manages to influence the music Spotify recommends to you, with children’s music even creeping into your year-end Wrapped. Spotify knows that this can be an issue, and it’s now giving parents an easy way to prevent such music from bleeding into their own playlists.
