Spotify's Premium Family Plan lets parents block explicit content
Spotify's "Premium Family Plan" is now family friendly.
The company announced on Monday that it's adding an "Explicit Content Filter" to the family plan, enabling parents to prevent their kids from listening to songs with bad words and adult situations
Amazingly, this wasn't an option before, even though the Family Plan has been available for years. Now to hear swear words, your kids will have to go, well, just about anywhere else on the internet.
Spotify is adding a few other options to the Premium Family Plan, as well, including the "Family Mix," which the company describes as "a personalized playlist packed with songs the whole family enjoys." So, 100 Billy Joel songs? Got it!
The features are rolling out in Ireland right now, according to Spotify, and will be available to the rest of the world this fall.
