Spotify has extended its "Managed Accounts" feature, allowing parents to control their children's music listening, to its free tier in the U.S., U.K., Australia, France, Germany, and the Netherlands. Previously available only to paid subscribers, this feature lets kids have separate accounts with personalized music choices that do not affect their parents' recommendations or Wrapped experience. Parents can restrict explicit content, control playback, and limit interactive features, offering a safer listening environment without requiring the Spotify Kids app. Spotify plans to expand this feature to more countries soon, reflecting a broader tech industry trend to enhance parental controls amid regulatory pressures.
