I’m 22 and have just moved to another state away from my family. My mom turned on the explicit content filter on our family Spotify plan, which means I can’t listen to my favorite artists like Kendrick Lamar anymore. It’s a bit annoying since I’m an adult and wanted to enjoy my music. Is there any way to change these settings for just my account, or do I need to think about getting my own subscription to avoid these restrictions?
As frustrating as it is, the explicit content filter on a family plan is indeed managed by the plan’s owner, meaning individual users can’t change these settings themselves. I faced a similar issue when I lived away from home. Ultimately, I found that the best solution is to switch to an individual Spotify Premium account. It provides the freedom to listen to any content without restrictions, albeit at a higher cost than sharing a family plan. If you think your mom might be open to it, discussing the need for more flexibility might also help.
