Explicit lyrics in Apple Music

I actually have the complete opposite issue: I don't have any restrictions on explicit lyrics, however, apple music keeps playing music with the restriction. I have the restriction turned off on my iPhone 6 and Macbook Pro but it only plays the clean music on my iPhone and the Macbook has no issue.

Okay, I had the same restriction by default once upgraded to 8.4 and Apple Music 3 days ago

In order to fix just follow these steps:

1) General, Restrictions, Enable (put a code if requested), Music, Podcast and ITunes, Enable Explicit

Hope this helps :-)

My fear is that on Apple Music (by now) there are available only clean versions :-(

This something also happens with my own iCloud Music

Am I wrong or simply enabling Explicit Lyrics as I described above also the streaming songs by Apple Music are not censored ? It seems that we made it this time !

I have Explicit Lyrics enabled, but there are still some songs that are only playing as the censored version and not the regular one. I believe it is the apple music versions that are playing censored

OK I had read your previous post about this, and I also had and maybe have still this issue. You mean some songs and not all explicit songs, ok.

I had for instance the problem with scream and shout by will I am and with I love it by icona pop.

Both now are in the explicit version.

For instance you may give me a title still censored and I can double check.

Furthermore some songs are only in a particular edit which is not the radio edit. For instance don't talk just kiss by right said Fred. You may find latest mix but not the radio original edit of 1992

I'm having issues with songs like "The Hills" by The Weeknd and "Talking Body" by Tove Lo that I purchased directly with iTunes. Before the apple music update, there was no issue and it was playing the explicit version. After the update, my macbook plays the song with no issue however, my iPhone plays the clean version. This issue doesn't appear with songs I got from another source.

Nice songs.. really. Ok I played them from Apple Music directly (I don't own them) and they are not in the clean version. Have you tried to enable iCloud library (or equivalent if you don't use iCloud) ? Before enabling this feature all my playlists were hidden and some songs replaced.

Songs I bought before Apple Music from Itunes like scream and shout play "dirty" either playing it from my library or from Apple Music :-) so my device is ok.

What's odd with yours ?

Maybe it's in some strange lock and need to exit.

You may try to disable explicit lyrics, reboot and than re-enable it and also enable your playlists or iCloud.

Really sorry about this. Should it depend on your region default Apple Music settings ?

Hmm... My iCloud is enabled and I did have that playlist issue also (but I figured that one out pretty quickly). I'm gonna try to see if rebooting it would work and hopefully it does because this issue is pretty annoying. Thanks for all the help btw 🙂

I have the same issue as annabanana84. The majority of my music is ripped from my own discs, but a few are purchased from iTunes. Once I turned on Apple Music and iCloud sync I've noticed my explicit songs (including the ones purchased from iTunes) were replaced with censored versions. I have not checked back on my MacBook yet to see how it is there. Extremely frustrating.

I have noticed Apple is doing a pretty terrible job with its designation of Explicit music. I have Explicit filters turned on for all my family devices yet plenty of explicit (per my standards) make it through - it appears they are not tagged as explicit at all. Seriously, how are the words sh*t and f*ck not considered explicit? Maybe I'm just getting old as society slips further and further into moral degradation, but in my opinion Apple's explicit/non-explicit designation should mirror public airwave standards. If you can't play it on the radio, why are you playing it on my device even if I have the explicit filter on? Sad.

i have the exact same problew as you. my restrictions are on also but when I go to the music podcast tab it sand clean and I can't change it to explicit. do let me know if you find a solution

thanks

My problem is a little different. I turn explicit lyrics off and for the most part, every day I start up apple music and hear explicit lyrics only to discover that I need to go back into the restrictions settings and turn explicit lyrics off AGAIN.😕

At the beginning, my explicit/clean button on the restrictions settings was grey; i couldn't choose explicit, only clean. I updated my ios to the latest version today, and now i could choose explicit but i still have all the music clean version. So basically nothing changed after the update. I did a reboot, signed out and in, turn on and off restrictions, change to clean then explicit. Nothing is working, and its annoying that i can't play any music on explicit. If you know anything that could help please let me know.
