Hi AmandaARae11,


We recommend reviewing your device for any restrictions that may be present. This article goes over all options but we'd like to focus on the quoted text below: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support


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.

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

Here are the types of content that you can restrict:

* Music, Podcasts, News, Fitness: Prevent the playback of music, music videos, podcasts, news, and workouts 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
