Hello and welcome to Apple Support Communities, shahad84!

I understand you're unable to play explicit content after updating, and want to know how to remove this restriction. I'd be happy to provide information to help you out.

Start with the steps outlined here: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch

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



Here, you would make sure that these settings are not enabled. Keep in mind, certain countries restrict explicit content by default.

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.
Have a great day!
