Still hearing ads on Family Plan

I upgraded to premium family, added my family and all of us are getting adds.  I'm sure it's user error but how do I fix?

@Vstringer1962 It doesn't look like your invitation to join the plan was accepted yet.

I've gone ahead and manually added the account to your plan on my end.

If you continue to run into issues, you will need to contact our support team directly for further assistance here.

Hope this helps!

@Philip2316 It doesn't look like you are logged into the account your wife added to the Premium Family plan.

You will need to sign out of your devices, and then sign back in using the email address associated with the account that was added to the plan.

If you are unsure what email address to use, your wife can verify by logging into her account, going to Settings > Subscription > Manage Family.

You can then sign into your device using the email address she sees there.

Hope this helps!

I just paid for the Premium Family plan for the year and when I went to help my mom log into her account, Pandora just keeps pulling up her Basic plan instead of upgrading her.  How do I get this fixed? It works fine on her pc but not in the app on her phone.

@Shan It sounds like she may be logged into the wrong account on her phone.

I recommend signing out of the app on that device, and then signing back in using the email address associated with the account you added to your plan.

Let me know how it goes.

I'm having the same issue, although I don't have ads...but my wife does. I added her and she has unlimited skips on songs but ads are still coming thru.

Did your issue get resolved? I'd like to find out how. Thanks

I have a premium family plan and have sent an invite to my wife to share. She accepts but is still getting adds even though it says she has the family plan.

@mfranco From our end, it doesn't appear that she accepted the invitation yet.

We've gone ahead and accepted the invitation for her on our end.

If she's still hearing ads, please have her sign out, and then sign back in using the email address you sent the invitation to.

Let me know how it goes.

I am not hearing ads, but, the other members of my family plan are? How do we fix this?

@Fatster I do see you have added two other accounts to your Premium Family plan.

If those two people are still hearing ads on their devices, please have them sign out, and then sign back in using the two email addresses you sent the invitations to/added to your plan.

Let me know how it goes.

I’m part of a family group but the app won’t let me use premium features, but when I hit the upgrade button it takes me to a webpage that confirms I’m in a family group!

Hi, @AgentAndrew0. 👋

Thanks for your post around this, and sorry for any inconvenience.

I do see that your account is upgraded and that you're a member of a Premium Family plan. 

Are you still having trouble listening to on-demand content from your iOS device?

Let me know. 🎧
