Spotify Launches Setting to Exclude Kids' Music from Recommendations and Wrapped
Spotify has introduced a new mobile app setting that allows users to prevent kids and family music from influencing their personalized recommendations, listening insights, and Wrapped results. Enabled by default, the toggle can be switched off to exclude children’s songs from shaping playlists like Discover Weekly and Daily Mix. This feature applies retroactively, removing past kids’ music from recommendation data within 48 hours, while still allowing users to stream and add such music to playlists without affecting their personal music profile.
