Spotify’s requirement for family plan members to provide location data is apparently back on, and its addition to the updated terms and conditions suggests that this is now permanent. The pilot program was abruptly ended due to privacy concerns. Last year, the music streaming service asked certain members to confirm their location by giving their GPS coordinates. This is not the first time that Spotify has tried to limit the number of people subscribing to its family plan. In Spotify’s descriptions for its premium plans, the Family plan is said to be “for families residing on the same address.” To enforce this, the music streaming service’s updated terms and conditions for the family plan, uploaded in August, state that Spotify will, from time to time, ask members to verify that they are all still living in the same house.

Music, pricing, and features explained Spotify requires that all members reside in the same household, even though tons of people share the feature among friends to save a few bucks. Otherwise, you'll still get six individual accounts for $15 per month, as before.

There's also a Family Hub, making it easier to add and remove users, adjust parental controls and keep your account info up to date.

It's updated regularly and allows granular control over who can contribute to each session so you don't get too much Frozen or Baby Shark.

Other new features include 'Family Mix,' giving you access to personalized playlists for the whole family. That feature was surprisingly lacking on a plan with the word 'family' in it, considering that it might be used by young children who thought ' Snoop Dogg' was some kind of cartoon. Parents will now have the ability to filter out songs with swearing, violence, drugs and more via an explicit content filter that can be applied to individual accounts. Spotify is rolling out a new Premium Family Plan with a much-awaited setting.
