Spotify launches managed child accounts in Germany

Spotify has begun offering managed (supervised) child accounts in Germany, aimed at families with younger children. The new feature lets children have their own profiles while parents retain oversight, helping to keep family libraries organized and age-appropriate.

Key points:

• Children can get individual, supervised profiles separate from adult accounts.
• Parents can maintain control over what children can access and keep household playlists tidy.
• This rollout follows other recent Spotify updates in Germany and is designed for families using Spotify’s family-oriented plans.

Why it matters: Family accounts have long required workarounds for parents who wanted to give kids their own listening experience without exposing them to unsuitable content or mixing up shared playlists. Managed child profiles aim to reduce that friction and offer a clearer, safer setup for households.

Discussion: If you have a family plan, will you create supervised profiles for your kids? What controls would you like to see next?
