If you're managing a Spotify Premium Family Plan, you're likely sharing it with a few friends or family members. But what happens when someone no longer lives at your address, or simply needs to be removed? The good news is Spotify makes this process relatively easy—as long as you’re the plan manager.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to remove someone from your Spotify Family Plan in 2025, step-by-step. Whether you’re trying to free up a slot or tidy up your billing, this tutorial walks you through it all, with screenshots and answers to the most common questions.
How to Remove a Member from Spotify Family Plan
Only the plan owner—the person who pays for the Family Plan—can remove others. If you’re not the plan manager, you’ll need to ask them directly.
Step 1: Go to Your Spotify Account Page
Visit https://www.spotify.com/account
Log in using the account that manages the Premium Family Plan
Step 2: Navigate to “Manage Your Plan”
Once logged in, scroll down to the Your Plan section
Click “Manage” next to the Premium Family heading
Step 3: View Members on Your Plan
You'll now see a section called “People on this plan”
All current family members will be listed here with their Spotify display names
Step 4: Remove the Member
Find the person you want to remove
Click the three dots (?) next to their name
Select “Remove from Plan” and confirm your decision
?? Instant effect: The removed user will immediately lose access to Spotify Premium and revert to a free plan.
What Happens After You Remove Someone?
They receive an email from Spotify informing them they’ve been removed
Their saved playlists, songs, and library remain intact
They’ll still have access to Spotify Free, just without Premium perks
The slot on your Family Plan becomes available for someone else
Common Reasons to Remove Someone
They’ve moved out of your household (Spotify requires all members to live at the same address)
You want to add a new family member but your plan is full
You no longer want to share your Premium subscription with that user
FAQs About Removing People from Spotify Family Plan
Q1: Can I remove someone from Spotify Family on the mobile app?
No. This function is only available via the web browser on spotify.com/account.
Q2: Can the removed person rejoin the plan later?
Yes, but they’ll need to be re-invited. Spotify may limit the number of re-invites in a short time frame to prevent abuse.
Q3: Will removing someone affect my playlists or account?
Not at all. Your Spotify account and all your content remain untouched. Only the removed user’s access to Premium ends.
Q4: What if I’m not the plan manager?
Only the person who started the plan (the one who pays) can remove members. If that’s not you, contact the manager.
Q5: Can I transfer ownership of the Family Plan?
Unfortunately, Spotify does not allow ownership transfers. You’d need to cancel the plan and have someone else start a new one.
Tips for Managing Your Spotify Family Plan
Use Spotify’s address verification to avoid issues with adding or removing members
Check your billing history and renewal date to manage changes smoothly
Avoid frequently removing/adding users, as this may trigger Spotify’s abuse detection system
