Family Sharing explicit content blocked in Podcasts/Music

I am unable to listen to explicit content on podcasts or music. I have all of the settings correct, and I've tried all of the hacks (going to itunes, turning it off, etc.). Even when I turned all of the safety settings totally off I still get messages about administrator not allowing content. I am an adult who is part of a family sharing plan (don't know if that makes a difference), running ios 26.4.2

iPhone 16, iOS 26

The Organizer controls your Screen Time settings when part of a Family sharing group. The most restrictive setting is used between that on your device and what the Organizer has set for Screen Time Restrictions. That is why you still cannot turn off the explicit content on your device.


You can ask the Organizer to change the setting or leave the Family Sharing group.
