How to Change Location in Spotify

Part 1: The Reason Why You Need To Change Spotify Country

Before we get to the reasons, did you know that on Spotify, there is a feature where you can check what kind of music or podcasts are being listened to in specific regions? This function does come in handy when determining which location to change to. With that said, here are some of the reasons to change your location on Spotify:

• For Lower Monthly Costs

As a premium Spotify account, your monthly subscription will be influenced by your specific location. Therefore, you may want to change your location to a country in Asia, Africa, or South America, as these regions are generally cheaper.

• For Region-Specific Content

As we started by mentioning, the content on Spotify is location-restricted, which means that depending on your current location, there are some contents you won't be able to access. So, if you want to listen to songs popular in a certain region, you would want to change country on Spotify to that specific region.

• For Available Access in Your Country

Even with millions of subscribers, there are countries where Spotify is not available yet. So, if you are in such a country, you may need to change location to access the platform.

How to Change Spotify Country Officially?

Only free users will be required to change their location for them to maintain their current features when in a different region on Spotify. Those with premium accounts, will still enjoy the music wherever they go, provided Spotify is supported.

Now, there are several ways through which one changes country on Spotify. They include the following:

For Spotify Free Account

• Step 1- Once logged in on Spotify, go to "Profile", and then from the dropdown box click "Account".

• Step 2- Go to "Account Overview", scroll down to the "Edit Profile" section, and click "Update" button.

• Step 3- Select the country you want to change your location to from the drop-down menu.

Part 4: FAQs about Changing Country on Spotify

Will changing location affect Spotify?

If you move to a different country and you are using a free account, you are given a grace period of 14 days, during which you are allowed to listen to your existing music. After that, the music will be stopped until you change location on Spotify, and hence new music recommendations. But if it is a premium account, nothing changes. The only thing you will need to change is your payment method.

Does Spotify use location?

Yes, it does! But it only uses it for verification, especially when determining what music to recommend, as well as your subscription amount.
