Can you transfer a Spotify account to a family account?

Answered by Stephen Mosley

You can transfer your existing Spotify account to a family account without losing any of your saved music, playlists, or recommendations. Upgrading to a family account allows you to enjoy all the benefits of Spotify Premium while also sharing the subscription with up to five additional family members.

To transfer your account, you will need to follow a few simple steps. First, make sure that you already have a Spotify Premium account. If you don’t, you can easily upgrade your free account to Premium by subscribing to the service.

Once you have a Premium account, log in to your Spotify account on the website or the mobile app. Look for the “Premium” tab or the “Upgrade” button, which will usually be located in the top-right corner of the screen. Click on it, and you will be directed to the Premium subscription page.

On the Premium subscription page, you will find different options for upgrading your account. Look for the “Family” option, which is usually listed alongside the individual and student plans. Click on the “Family” option to start the upgrade process.

Next, you will be asked to provide some information about your family members, such as their names and email addresses. Spotify uses this information to send invitations to your family members, so they can join the family plan and create their own individual accounts.

After providing the necessary information, complete the payment process to finalize the upgrade to a family account. Spotify will then send invitations to your family members, who will need to accept the invitations and create their own Spotify accounts. They can either sign up for a new account or link their existing Spotify accounts to the family plan.

Once all family members have accepted the invitations and joined the family plan, you will be able to manage the plan through the “Family” section of your Spotify account settings. From there, you can add or remove family members, update payment details, and manage the family plan settings.

It’s worth noting that each family member on the family plan will have their own individual Spotify account, with their own saved music, playlists, and recommendations. This means that your personal music library and listening history will not be shared with other family members, ensuring privacy and a personalized listening experience for everyone.

Transferring your Spotify account to a family account is a straightforward process that allows you to enjoy all the benefits of Spotify Premium while sharing the subscription with your family members. By following the steps outlined above, you can upgrade your account without losing any of your saved music, playlists, or recommendations. So go ahead and enjoy unlimited music streaming with your loved ones!
