Spotify’s Premium Family Plan is the ideal way to get access to music without breaking the bank. Instead of shelling out six individual subscriptions, up to six people in a home can listen to a reduced plan. Each person has his or her own Premium account, ad-free, with skip restrictions and offline listening.
The one thing that can be slightly annoying at times is adding and removing members. If you’ve ever thought about how to add a new member, remove a person, or replace members, keep on reading. Here, I will give you the step-by-step, updated to 2025.
1. How to Set Up a Spotify Family Plan
If you haven’t already got a Premium Family Plan, here’s how you can begin:
Log in with your phone, computer, or tablet using your Spotify account.
Navigate to Account Settings or click on the Premium tab.
Click on Get Premium and choose the option for Premium Family Plan.
Enter your payment details and confirm your purchase.
After activating it, you will see up to six member slots—one for yourself as a plan holder and five free slots for others who reside in your household.
2. How to Invite a New Family Member
Inviting a new family member is simple. This is how you do it:
Go to the Premium Family page of your account.
You will see the list of the slots with empty and occupied slots.
Tap on an Available slot.
Choose how you would like to invite:
Invite via Link – One-time link is created. Copy and send via WhatsApp, Messenger, SMS, or any platform.
Invite by Email – Enter their email address, and Spotify invites them for you.
The space will then display Waiting for one person until the user accepts.
The guest simply clicks the link or email, logs into Spotify account, and accepts. When he or she accepts, their space is activated, and they are provided with Premium access at once.
3. How to Remove or Replace a Family Member
Sometimes, you’ll need to swap someone out—maybe a roommate moved out, or a family member stopped using Spotify. There are two scenarios:
Method 1: Replace a Pending Member
If the person hasn’t accepted yet:
Go to Account Settings → Manage Members.
Locate the Waiting for one person slot.
Click Replace this person.
Send a new email or invite link to the new member.
Method 2: Replace an Active Member
If the member is already active:
Go to the Manage Members section.
Locate the person to be removed.
Click Replace this person.
New invite link visible—share with new person.
When you add the new member, the old one automatically loses Premium. Be nice if you want and warn them first.
4. Accept a Spotify Family Invitation
If you are invited into a Family Plan, do the following:
Open up the invitation email or link which has been sent to you.
Log in to your existing Spotify account (or create a new one if you don’t have it already).
Spotify will ask you to confirm your home address since all members of the Family Plan should be living under the same address. Enter it accurately.
You will immediately be given instant access to Premium features after you’ve been verified.
5. Administering Members in the Spotify Desktop App
You don’t need to use mobile for this. Desktop also supports the same:
Open Spotify on your computer and log in.
Click your profile picture in the top-right corner and select Account Settings.
Click the Family Subscription link.
You add members, swap them out, or remove someone through the same link or email process from there.
Same as that smartphone one, so you can do what is more convenient.
6. Glitch-Free Experience Tips
It’s easy enough to have a family plan, but these tips avoid issues:
Only invite relatives. Spotify checks addresses to ensure everyone lives in the same residence.
Ensure they already possess a Spotify account. Invites are easier if the invited person has one.
Look through spam mail. Invitation emails sometimes end up there.
Monitor expiration dates. Invites do have an expiration date, so reinvite accordingly.
Notify changes. When you uninvite someone, inform them. It prevents confusion.
