Why is it not censored

My parents put censoring on my Apple Music, I’m not mad, I really don’t care, but there is one problem. When you try to play an explicit song it will play the clean version of that song, or tell you that it is restricted. I am a really big fan of Joey valence and brae, but I can’t listen to all of their music because there is no clean version to their songs. I feel like they’re big enough to have clean music, is there anything someone can do about that?

iPhone X, iOS 15

The artist provides the different versions of the songs. Or not.


Your general options include to acquiescing to your parents wishes, to lobby them for changes, to wait them out, or to bypass their wishes.


But if the artist doesn’t offer a “radio” version (quaint term that, “radio”), there’s no listening to those recordings with the explicit filter enabled.


Semi-related: there used to be a bug in Apple Music here, too; where you can’t have both radio and explicit versions of the song present in the same library. The library can only accept one. I reported that bug a very long time ago, but never checked whether it was fixed.


Independent of the music, you probably want to be running iOS 16.7.5 on an iPhone X, too.
