Why is my daughter able to listen to explicit lyrics and music when I have it set for clean

I have screen time set for daughters iPhone X music is set for clean as are her apps. However she still is able to listen to explicit music lyrics with “F” words and “strippers” in it and inappropriate explicit content in apps.

Hey there, Jaystar38.


We understand that you are using Screen Time to manage content your daughter can access on your iPhone X, which is set to no explicit content for both music and apps. To confirm, is your daughter using the Apple Music app or another app that provides music?


Also, we recommend double check to ensure settings are correct. This article has the steps, which we'll include below: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


"Prevent explicit content and content ratings

You can also prevent the playback of music with explicit content and movies or TV shows with specific ratings. Apps also have ratings that can be configured using content restrictions.


To restrict explicit content and content ratings:

  1. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.
  3. Choose the settings you want for each feature or setting under Allowed Store Content.


Here are the types of content that you can restrict:

  • Ratings For: Select the country or region in the ratings section to automatically apply the appropriate content ratings for that region
  • Music, Podcasts & News: Prevent the playback of music, music videos, podcasts, and news containing explicit content
  • Music Videos: Prevent finding and viewing music videos
  • Music Profiles: Prevent sharing what you're listening to with friends and seeing what they're listening to
  • Movies: Prevent movies with specific ratings
  • TV shows: Prevent TV shows with specific ratings
  • Books: Prevent content with specific ratings
  • Apps: Prevent apps with specific ratings"


You could try toggling Content & Privacy Restrictions off, restart both devices, and enable Content & Privacy Restrictions again to see if that can resolve this issue.


Let us know if that helps. Take care!
