My Apple Music is only letting me see some explicit music and if it has a clean version it is replaced by that. I have looked up every way to try to change it to just explicit music, but it doesn’t work. I have tried the iTunes thing and that didn’t work either. It has been like this for a week or so, I have no idea how to fix it. Please help, thank you.

Hi there, Malachio! Thank you for posting to the Apple Support Communities. We understand your situation and how you are unable to view explicit content in Apple Music at this time. We’re happy to help you research a solution!
For the first step, we would suggest removing any music from your library now that was added as the clean version instead of the explicit version. When you add the music back to your library, does the explicit version appear?
If you’re still only seeing the clean version, we’d suggest checking the Screen Time settings on your device for any content restrictions. The following Apple Support article can help you with these settings.
Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
We hope this information allows you to access your Apple Music normally again.
Cheers!
Thank you for the information. Is your device already using the latest version of iOS? See how to back up and update your device in the following Apple Support article:
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
We look forward to your reply.
Cheers!
I honestly do no know how to explain it because it lets me view explicit music, but it hides it. For example, I go to check the rap life playlist and only shows the clean versions of the songs; however, the ones that do not have clean versions, show the explicit version. Another thing I have noticed is if I go to search a song that only has an explicit version, it won’t show up.
Thank you for the follow up message, Malachio. We see what you mean there. To confirm, have you been able to check your device for Screen Time or Parental Control restrictions?
When did you first notice that music appeared this way on your device?
Hi malachio,
We're glad to see that you have the latest version of iOS installed already. Can you tell us if you are able to access and preview explicit content in the iTunes Store app?
Best regards.
Thank you for the follow up message, Malachio.
After previewing an explicit track in the iTunes Store, are you able to play explicit content again in Apple Music?
Please let us know what you find out.
Cheers!
Thank you for keeping us updated on your situation, Malachio. From here, we recommend that you contact Apple Support directly for more help. Depending on your region, you may be able to reach them here:
We hope this direction helps you locate an answer.
Cheers!
My phone is up to date already. Any other ideas?
Yeah, I actually can.
I did and they are off as well as being on explicit while turned on. I noticed this maybe a month ago.
No, I am not able to. After I preview it. It takes me to the explicit album, however, other then that nothing changes. It doesn’t make everything else normal
