JAKARTA Spotify announced the expansion of managed accounts, Premium accounts for young people, to seven new markets. This account will later be available to children under the age of 13 in supported countries.

The seven new markets targeted for expansion are the United States (US), Britain, Canada, Australia, Germany, France, and the Netherlands. This launch is a continuation of trials in the previous ten markets, including New Zealand.

Managed accounts will be available exclusively as part of Spotify's Premium Family package. This feature offers added value for package managers by providing a safe and personalized space for children.

The manager of the package, namely parents or guardians, remains in full control of the account. Users who use managed accounts can explore music freely in a safe environment.

They can create playlists, accept personal recommendations, and enjoy features that are already known, such as daily listings and Discover Weekly. This listening experience is just music.

Parents can control the experience of listening to their children's music on manageable accounts through their Family Package settings. Available control features include Explicit Content Filters and the ability to limit the playback of certain artists or songs.

In addition, the interactivity feature is also limited to this account. There is no access to features that are limited in age like Messages. Parents can look for further tips on Spotify's Parents Guide to support their child's listening trip.

Family Package owners can manage manage an account by opening an account page in the application, selecting Add Members, then selecting the option of 'Add a listener under 13 years of age'. Next, follow Spotify's directed steps.
