Apple Music Explicit Content not playing on phone but plays on PC

Having an issue with songs paying the explicit content on my PC, but not on my phone. The explicit content is enabled on PC and Phone. And the Explicit content will play in iTunes Store, but not in apple music on phone. I'm at a loss. I've deleted and re-added the songs, and the problem continues. Please advise

iPhone 13 Pro

Hey Batmanrb89,


Sounds like you likely have restrictions enabled on your iPhone preventing you from listening to explicit content on that particular device.


To check, go to Settings > Screen Time. If you don't see the option to Turn On Screen Time, you already have this enabled, and therefore content and privacy restrictions could be enabled as well. Go ahead and scroll down and select Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Music, Podcasts, News, & Workouts and ensure Explicit is selected.


If you set up Screen Time by mistake and just want the feature disabled altogether you can go to Settings > Screen Time > Turn off Screen Time and enter your Screen Time passcode to disable the feature altogether.


If for any reason you forgot your Screen Time passcode check out this resource for more info on resetting it: If you forgot your Screen Time passcode - Apple Support


Take care!
