Does turning off explicit music delete all of that music from your library

I work with kids and would like to be able to leave my music on shuffle if I turned off explicit music in the Apple Music settings would all the explicit songs I have be removed from my library upon turning it on.

Hello funnyfishman,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

I understand that you would like to prevent explicit content on your iPhone when playing content from Apple Music. You can do this through parental controls. Take a look at the following support article:

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

Preventing explicit content is covered in this section:

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.

To restrict explicit content and content ratings:

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

Here are the types of content that you can restrict:

  • Ratings For: Select the country or region in the ratings section to automatically apply the appropriate content ratings for that region
  • Music, Podcasts & News: Prevent the playback of music, music videos, podcasts, and news containing explicit content
  • Music Profiles & Posts: 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
Best regards.
