Spotify Kids Gets New Parent Control Feature

The media that our kids end up consuming on a regular basis can have quite a significant impact on how they end up behaving when they grow up because of the fact that this is the sort of thing that could potentially end up shaping their beliefs and opinions in a really big way. With all of that having been said and now out of the way, it is important to note that kids can be exposed to a lot of harmful content online which is why it’s so important for parents to be able to have some control over what their minor children end up consuming on the internet.

Spotify Kids is a kids friendly version of the music streaming app that is basically meant to give kids the ability to listen to whatever music they enjoy whilst also enabling parents to look into ensuring that they only ever listen to music that is not harmful for them in any way, shape or form. Another feature that Spotify is now rolling out is shared playlists except that on the Kids app these playlists are going to be curated by the parents.
