Managed Accounts are still not available to many of us in the United States. The feature was supposed to have been available to 90% of the United States user-base by November 3rd. We're on November 28th now and it is still missing for many of us in the United States. I've spoken with Spotify support on multiple occasions to get any semblance of an updated status on the rollout, but they are all clueless about the rollout and have no information to provide. Why Spotify's developers and/or project members are not providing information for the support team to be able to provide to users is anyone's guess. I had cancelled my Premium Family subscription (though the current period was still active) right before the announcement of the feature due to Spotify still showing pornographic audiobooks and playlists to my small children despite the Explicit option being disabled already (thanks to the Explicit tag only being applied when a provider self-reports the content as being explicit. If a provider doesn't say something is explicit, it is shown to anyone of any age). When I spoke with support about the new feature to find out whether it would allow me to moderate my children's content better since Spotify was obviously not going to do it themselves, I was told that I needed to be actively enrolled in a Premium Family plan subscription, despite my subscription still technically being active until a date past the November 8th date they said I should see it at. So, I renewed in hopes I'd see it and be able to test it out before the subscription fully expired, in order to gauge its efficacy, yet here I am on November 28th and still haven't seen any sign of the feature being available soon.
Spotify should never had made the announcement that the feature was available if it truly wasn't, and should be providing regular project status updates to all of us that pay for their company to remain in operation.
Edit: The feature showed up on my account today, December 1st, 2025, almost 1 full month after it was said (or supposed) to be available to 90%+ of the United States. I guess, at least it showed up before 2026 so I can test it before my next renewal dates to determine if it solves the issue of inappropriate and incorrectly tagged content being shown to minors.
