Explicit music is forbidden

Hello,


I have a problem with my iPhone X on IOS 12.0.1 with apple music, where it says that I have to allow explicit music to hear it. Even though I think that I have allowed everything in the settings, it still says that I have to allow it. Here is a screenshot of what I have allowed:

Greetings ValentinNeumann,

Thanks for visiting the Apple Support Communities! I understand you're unable to play songs with explicit content within Apple Music on your iPhone. Further, you've ensured you don't have explicit content restricted.

I suggest troubleshooting with the following suggestions:

  • Open an explicit song in the iTunes Store app, and agree to allow explicit content. Then attempt to play an explicit song within Apple Music
  • Reset All Settings on your iPhone. Keep in mind, resetting all settings will: reset Wi-Fi credentials in all iCloud Keychain devices that use the Apple ID if iCloud Keychain is turned on, r​emoves all of your previously used Wi-Fi networks and passwords, removes Face ID, and removes your Apple Pay cards. To reset all settings: tap Settings > General > Reset > Reset All Settings.

Let me know how it goes from here.

Kind regards.
