Apple Music Replacing Explicit Songs With The Clean Versions

Is anyone having this problem? A few of my songs are being changed to the clean versions, no all of them. When I choose which version to put in my playlist it shows explicit and the second I play it, the E (Explicit) dissapears.


I repeat its only like 3 out of 200 songs but it’s bothersome. Any help would be awesome!

Good morning DaltonMKimbro!


I see that you're having some trouble playing the explicit versions of some of your songs. I'll be happy to help out.


First, make sure that you don't have restrictions set for the iPhone by going to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions, and make sure nothing here is preventing explicit music from being played. Learn more about Screen Time restrictions here: Use Screen Time to get insights about how you use your device


Also, do you happen to have clean versions of the songs in your Library? If you're not sure, search for it and then delete the clean version. Does the explicit version play now?


Keep us updated. Take care!

I have the same issue and it's really a problem to me since almost half of my library is(was) explicit. I looked for the content restriction in the general settings as you indicated and nothing here prevents me from listening to explicit music. I tested and I can listen to explicit content in apple music.


Is there a way to reverse this undesired opreation on my iPhone?

Searching for every single song that has been automatically replaced to redownload it and delete the clean version would be way to long.



Thanks for your help.
