Spotify's Family plan not only costs less per person than individual Premium, but also lets up to six household members share Premium perks. However, many users run into confusion when creating and managing family group members. This guide walks you through the whole process—from setting up the family group and inviting members to handling day-to-day management—so your whole household can enjoy the shared experience.
1. How to Create a Spotify Family Group
First, make sure your account is upgraded to a paid Premium individual plan. Open the Spotify app or web player, go to your account settings, and find the "Switch to Premium Family" option under "Subscription." After clicking it, you'll be asked to enter your home address—this step is critical because all members must live at the same address to pass verification.
Fill in your full address (including street, city, and ZIP code), then confirm payment for the Family monthly fee (it's usually a bit more than an individual plan, but split among members it's very affordable). Once the payment goes through, your account automatically becomes the "Family plan manager," and you can start inviting members.
2. Invite Family Members to Join
As the manager, go to the "Premium Family" management panel in your account and click the "Add Member" button. The system will generate a unique invite link that you can share via text or email with your family. Note: each member needs their own Spotify account (a free account works) and must be at least 13 years old.
