Was “Golden”<\/a> from “KPop Demon Hunters”<\/a> or Ice Spice<\/a>‘s “Big Guy”<\/a> at the top of your Spotify<\/a> Wrapped this past year, against your will? Parents are now able to reclaim their music algorithms with Spotify’s latest update.<\/p>\n On July 15, Spotify launched Managed Accounts for listeners ages 7 to 13 who are interested in curating a Spotify experience but are not yet old enough to have their own accounts. Controlled by a guardian with a Spotify account, these tween-intended accounts offer only music and allow younger users to create individualized playlists. They also have access to Daylists, personalized playlists that change throughout the day dependent on a listener’s habits, and Discover Weeklys, new song roundups dropped each Monday, tailored for users. At the time of launch, podcasts and audiobooks are not available on Managed Accounts.<\/p>\n Managed Accounts are accessible on individual and shared devices, Spotify Principal Product Manager Barry Nevin said during a Spotify news briefing on July 13. So whether children have their own devices or share a communal tablet at home, Managed Accounts can still be created and utilized.<\/p>\n Managed Accounts are intended to grow with users, Nevin said during the briefing. As children get older, they may request, through Spotify, to “graduate” to an individual on a family plan, with access to more features.<\/p>\n
