As of today, Spotify Kids is now available for Ireland, Sweden, Denmark, the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Mexico, Argentina, Brazil, the U.S., Canada, France, Germany, and Japan.
Yesterday, Spotify also announced Group Session, another service that builds off its Premium plan, aimed at connecting friends for socially distanced music experiences.
