Let It Go: Here's How to Keep Kids' Music Out of Your Spotify Wrapped
The setting will stop kids’ listening from shaping Discover Weekly, Daily Mix and Wrapped, and it applies retroactively to prior streams.
On Tuesday, Sept. 15, 2026, Spotify launched a global toggle allowing Free and Premium users to exclude kids and family music from their taste profile, ensuring recommendations reflect personal listening habits.
Parents often share accounts on TVs and smart speakers, causing kids' songs to dominate Spotify Wrapped and personalized playlists, which distorts the algorithm's understanding of account owners' actual preferences.
To enable the feature, users navigate to "Settings and privacy" and switch off the toggle labeled "Include kids and family music in taste profile," though Spotify warns changes may take up to 48 hours to reflect.
The retroactive change removes past streams from Discover Weekly and Daily Mix recommendations, allowing parents to reclaim their musical taste from songs like "Let It Go" that previously dominated their playlists.
Managed Accounts for listeners under 13 complement this new toggle, marking Spotify's latest step in providing parents and guardians with expanded control over their listening environment and family music discovery.
Spotify has been given a new and in-demand feature, namely a slider that stops children's music from appearing in playlists such as Discover Weekly and Daily Mix. And -- perhaps most notably -- in Spotify Wrapped.
