With the recent changes, paid users of Spotify will have the opportunity to share with their family and friends to use the full features of Spotify Premium at an affordable price. However, to be able to convert to Family form, users need to operate it manually through a web browser. We invite you to read this article for more information.
Last month, Spotify changed its pricing for the home category to compete with Apple Music and Google Play Music. Initially, for each additional object, users have to pay an additional 5 USD per month (about 113,000 VND), and up to only 4 objects, which means it will cost you about 30 USD (about 681,000 VND) for a family of 5 using Spotify.
The base price of a Spotify Premium account is around 10 USD (about 227,000 VND) per month. But after the price change last month, you can now have 6 people using the same account at the same time (1 account owner and 5 family members) for only 15 USD. (340,000 VND). It is also because of this change that Spotify's Family package has become a competitor to many other music service systems on the market.
◤ ADD FRIENDS AND FAMILY TO SPOTIFY FAMILY
However, Spotify does not upgrade a user's account from Premium to Family automatically, but users need to do it manually through a web browser, with a few simple steps below.
- Go to spotify.com from a browser and then sign in (or sign up) with your Spotify account.
- Continue to access the Family directory through the path spotify/family. Or you can also click the arrow key next to the username to display a list of customization options. Here, select Account , from the account information page, click on the Premium for Family line in the left toolbar.
- Click Get Started .
- Enter your payment information and click Start my Spotify Premium .
- Proceed to invite other objects to your Spotify Family account through the email address they used to sign up for a Spotify account.
◤ ADD OR REMOVE AN ACCOUNT FROM SPOTIFY FAMILY
Manipulating and managing your Spotify Family account also needs to be done through a web browser. To add or remove users from your account, go to spotify.com/account and then click the Go button below the Manage your family accounts line . If there's still space, you can invite more people in by entering their email addresses, or simply send them a direct link.
However, wanting to revoke the access of the authorized person is not so simple. You can only invite a new person or recreate another invite link. This will kick the old user out and regain their access to Spotify Premium.

Just click on the link, and select Accept Invitation. The system will take you to a new browser window, here, log in with your Spotify account and click Redeem.
