Spotify is finally giving you a button to block kids’ music from your recommendations and Wrapped — now YouTube needs to follow suit
Spotify is giving parents more control, now you can easily exclude your kids favorite music from your taste profile.
Spotify has introduced a new setting that allows users to exclude kids and family music from their taste profile, which includes Discover Weekly and Wrapped recommendations. This feature is designed for parents who use Spotify to stream their children's favorite songs. When enabled, songs like TV themes, nursery rhymes, and animated movie hits will no longer impact the recommendations.
The toggle is now available to both Free and Premium users globally, starting September 15. While the toggle does not affect search and streaming of kids' music, it retrospectively removes the music your kids have already streamed, impacting your top songs for the year's Wrapped. This feature addresses the issue of kids taking over parents' Spotify accounts and improving music discovery experiences.
Spotify's move follows similar criticism faced by YouTube, which still lacks an option to filter out kids content from video recommendations.
