Limit listening time

Felix12345 — Mon, 28 Aug 2023 06:38:34 GMT

Hello,
I have a daughter who unfortunately listens to a lot of radio plays via her family account in the Spotify app. I would like to help her limit this. There is the possibility to limit the usage time of apps with Familylink or an app like the 'app-off-timer'. But with spotify only the time the screen is active counts. When the screen is locked, you can still listen indefinitely.
Is there a working way to control the listening time in the spotify app?
Thanks a lot, Felix

Hey @Felix12345,

Thanks for posting in the Community.

There is no built in way to limit the listening time on the Spotify app. You can submit a feature request through the process here. But maybe the Spotify Kids app is something your daughter would enjoy. Here is more on that.

Hope this helps.

Cheers!

Im not sure if I can ask here or I should open a new topic but I am actually ok with my daughter listening to music but I didn’t know it was possible to watch videos as in YouTube on Spotify as well so I would like to be able to block any video but don’t know how to do it. If anyone knows…
