Apple Music on iPadOS doesn’t allow me to view explicit lyrics even after turning off content restrictions.

So when I try to view the lyrics of a song marked explicit it tells me to go to settings and turn off restrictions. Even after allowing explicit music or turning off content restrictions through screen time altogether, it still tells me I need to do so. I only have problems on this device.


Probably unrelated but I already had another similar issue where I couldn’t listen to explicit music even after getting rid of restrictions and for that I had to go through iTunes to enable explicit music.


iPad Air 2, iOS 13
