Explicit lyrics are not showing

Explicit lyrics are not showing although restrictions from screentime are off. The explicit song itself plays just fine but only the clean version shows lyrics. When I long press on an explicit song and tap view full lyrics, it says: To view lyrics containing explicit content go to settings > general and turn off restrictions. (Although the option is not there)

I’m having the same problem as well. However, i already contacted with Apple support with regards to this issue and their technical team said one of the ways to get around this issue is to go on iTunes Store and preview any explicit song. “Allow” explicit content should be prompted and press “Allow”. Once you have done that, it should resolve the issue.


If it didn’t, don’t worry because Apple is well aware of this problem and might patch the bug in the next iOS update (hopefully).
