Spotify adds parental controls to your Family Plan
Spotify adds new features to its highly sought after Family Plan to better keep track of usage. Among them, parental control stands out to avoid music that has appropriate content.
Spotify continues with news in order to make its Family Plan more attractive in which several accounts are joined in the same payment, very useful if different members of the family want the platform's premium plan and save money. However, many expected some functions so that their underage children could consume content that was suitable for their age.
Now, if we have someone small in the Spotify family plan, parents can disable access to certain songs. In the United States, it is very common for versions of songs to be released with certain words that are not suitable for all along with a version more suitable for adolescents. A whole business that will allow many artists to be heard by younger people, even with censored lyrics.
Greater control in family accounts
There are also more features focused on the concept of family, in case a real family uses it. On the one hand, there is an option called Family Mix that will give us an automatic mix of songs that, in theory, should please everyone, allowing you to change who is listening at any given time so that the music selection adapts to the atmosphere.
Finally, the Family Hub is launched, through which we can change the options on the family plan, such as the number of people enrolled, being able to add or remove people, change the address of the home and the options of the aforementioned parental control.
Thus, the family plan is marketed as such, offering parental controls and a mix for everyone. The plan remains priced at €14,99 per month for up to six people, but if used in different households, we may see limited functionality, even with ad blockers.
