How to Get Spotify Kids on Amazon Fire Tablet

Spotify Kids is an exclusive version from the company. It’s provided by Spotify’s Premium Family Plan (US$ 19.99), the top-tier subscription. You cannot subscribe to it individually.

For those who have the Family Plan and want Spotify Kids on Fire tablet, here’s how you get started.

Step 1: Download Google Play Store on Fire Tablet

The Spotify Kids app is not available on the Amazon Appstore. You can only download it only from the Play Store. And as mentioned, the Google Play Store isn’t built into Fire tablets. So, you will have to make a few adjustments to install Play Store on your tablet first. Follow these steps:

Step 1.1: Open Settings on your tablet. Choose Settings and Privacy, or on older models, look for Security. Then, tap on Apps from Unknown Sources and choose Silk Browser. Toggle on Allow from this Source to enable downloading APK files from outside Amazon’s ecosystem.

Step 1.2: You’ll need the correct version of the Google Play Store APK. This depends on your Fire tablet’s OS version. So, verify this: go back to Settings. Select Device Options and tap System. Find your Device Model and write it down. This detail is essential for downloading the right APK file later.

Step 1.3: After identifying your Fire tablet model, you now have the four APKs to download:

• Google Account Manager
• Google Services Framework
• Google Play Services
• Google Play Store

The above are APK files from APKMirror for the Fire Max 11 (13 Gen) version. You can find compatible APK files for all the versions of the Fire tablet via APKMirror itself.

Step 1.4: Once you’ve downloaded the correct APK versions, follow these steps carefully. The order of installation is important. Open the Files app and navigate to your Downloads folder.

Note: Do not open any APK file directly without following these instructions:

• Tap the first file.
• Select Continue when prompted.
• Tap the Install button.
• Once the installation finishes, tap Done (not Open).

Step 1.5: Repeat the above process for each file in the following order:

• com.google.android.gsf.login
• com.google.android.gsf
• com.google.android.gms
• com.android.vending

Step 1.6: After all the four APK files have been installed, reboot your tablet.

Once the tablet restarts, you’ll find the Google Play Store app on your Fire tablet’s home screen.

Step 2: Install Spotify Kids on Amazon Fire Tablet

After adding the Play Store, you can get Spotify Kids via it on your Fire tablet. However, here’s the first thing to know: Spotify Kids doesn’t work in every region. If it’s missing from your Play Store, it's just not supported in your region yet and you can use a VPN to bypass the Geo restriction.

To install Spotify Kids on Fire Tablet:

• Search Spotify Kids on the installed Google Play and tap Install.



• Open the Spotify Kids app after installation. Login it with your Premium Family account.



• Once logged in, you can start setting up a dedicated profile for your child. Simply name the profile and add their birthday.



• You can select age group cards accordingly. Click Continue and the app does the rest, which will filter out anything unsuitable for your kids.

Spotify on Kindle Fire or Fire Tablets Not Working [Fixed!]

Spotify not working on your Fire tablet and Kindle Fire device is a common issue. And it is often because of mismatches between Fire OS (which tends to favor older versions) and Spotify’s continuously updating app. But don’t worry! Most problems can be fixed easily with these steps:

Fix 1: Check Your Network Connection

First make sure your Fire tablet has a stable internet connection. Without it, Spotify simply won’t load or play music.

Fix 2: Reboot Your Device

Spotify crashing frequently or skipping songs is another common issue on Fire tablets. In such cases, rebooting can resolve the issue:

• Ensure your tablet has at least 30% battery life.
• Hold on the power button for 40 seconds. Make sure to ignore any pop-up messages during this process.
• Power it back on and check Spotify again.

Fix 3: Update Your Software

Fire tablets often struggle with apps like Spotify when running outdated software. Updating Fire OS is crucial:

Go to Settings > Device Options > System Updates.

If updates are available, install them immediately. The tablet will restart during the process. Once updated, the newer Fire OS version will likely resolve compatibility issues.

Fix 4: Uninstall and Reinstall Spotify

There could also be an issue with the Spotify app itself, not the Fire tablet. So, it is better to reinstall the Spotify app:

• Navigate to Settings > Apps & Games > Spotify.
• Uninstall Spotify completely.



• Reboot your tablet for good measure.
• Then, reinstall Spotify from either the Play Store or Amazon Appstore.

Conclusion

That’s how to download Spotify app and Spotify music on the Fire tablet. You have learned to do this via the Appstore or the Google Play Store. For Spotify Kids, the Play Store is essential and it requires a Premium Family account.
