Spotify expands audiobooks access to family plan members in the US for the first time


Though Spotify launched its audiobooks service in the U.S. back in 2022, household members on Duo and Family plans have long been left out. Spotify says that will now change.

With the launch, the U.S. joins a handful of other markets with access to Audiobooks+, including Ireland, Canada, the U.K., Australia, New Zealand, France, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg, Germany, Austria, Switzerland, and Liechtenstein. Image Credits: SpotifyThe announcement of the plan’s expansion to the U.S. comes shortly after a tough quarter for the streaming giant, where it missed expectations and reported weak guidance.
