Do you mind me asking what you're using as an address?

I am interested.PM details

ImARebel

If anyone can advise me I'd really appreciate a PM. We only set up the family last week, maybe I should have used my old home address where my dad is. But then I'd have been caught out as I haven't had post going there in 20 years

Spotify has begun to use GPS to validate address details to ensure that people are living at the same address.

So if you get a validation mail or join a family make sure not to allow GPS in the app and use manual address validation.

As long as GPS is not mandatory it should work.

I've looked in the APP settings there are no references to GPS in there and there was nothing to tick about manual address validation - where are you seeing this?

Spotify has begun to use GPS, that does not mean they have rolled it out fully.

They started in some countries as of yesterday afternoon to ask for validation via GPS when you sign up/join a family or when they send you an e-mail as they suspect you are not a family.

In Ireland, they will start using Eircode or GPS shortly, in Germany they are now using primary GPS and Postleitzahl (Eircode similar) secondary.

You also should see new T&C coming out soon which includes a change as to the usage or precise mobile positioning.

Which is why I said:

ImARebel

alright I only asked as I wasn't seeing GPS settings and what they do in germany isn't helping me much here

we did use Eircode (the same one) to verify - that's why I was asking what others were doing to get past this

Hi barry. Have paid but can't seem to activate my account. Can you please check it. Is you address really Stoner Avenue Athlone ?

aidannulty

Hi there looking for a family also. Send me a message if you are setting up a family please.

Phoebas

I got a mail from them asking me to verify my address for a family I joined with back in April. 7 days to verify or I'd be put back on a free account.

Thought they were cracking down but they seemed happy with just the postal district.

MisterKipling

Still looking to join a family plan.

It's pretty easy to fake your location online.

I pointed out the move to GPS earlier.

According to the latest the GPS validation is however not done in APP but via the browser that opens once you click on the link.

So it should be possible to work around that, at present it also lets you still enter a post code.

So best to ask for the GPS co-ordinates of the family home.
