Can't play Explicit content. Halp...

So, i purchased Apple Music recently, and i can't play any Explicit content at all. Already turend off all Restrictions in setting, but app still says "This item cant be played due to it's raitng". Tried the thing with iTunes Store that everyone suggest, and it still asks to change Content Restrictions, but i already HAVE ALL EXPLICIT CONTENT ALLOWED. And so, i simply cant play anything Explicit even though have it allowed. What should i do?

P.S. Have iPhone XS, iOS 13.3.1, don't have any kids so never did any Family thing or Restrictions.

iPhone XS, iOS 13

The Share Across Devices stuff is in Screen Time, though I’m unclear as to how that’s related. Unless explicit content has been disabled there.

Though Apple does have a list of regions and countries and with the services available (Availability of Apple Media Services - Apple Support), I don’t know of a list of content restrictions, and I’d expect different countries and regions might well have diverging requirements on what can be offered for sale. Some countries won’t allow certain flags to be displayed, for instance.

Again, ring up iTunes support, and ask.

Disregard the following, as I see this has been resolved...

Are you in a region or country that restricts or prohibits explicit content?

Is the birth date associated with your Apple ID correct?

Call iTunes support, and ask for help?

Welp, i solved it myself. For me, it was turning off 'Share Across Devices' option, setting restrictions one more time, and voila - everyrhing works. Turned back on 'Share' after checking if 'E' content is working normally.

hey, i’m having the very same issue and nothing seems to work for me, so i’m just wondering how i can find out whether my country prohibits restricted content or not, maybe there’s a list or something?

Where can I find 'Share across devices' option? I reset my phone and facing the same issue with explicit music content even after changing restrictions. Also, a lot of songs in my playlists have vanished but they still show in itunes on desktop! Would you know how to resolve this?
