Apple Music defaulting to edited “clean” versions of songs?

How can I change the defaulted settings for Apple Music to stop defaulting to edited clean versions of songs? When I listen to a suggested music after my playlist, it will only play clean songs, and If I want to add a song to my playlist, I have to go search for the original version.

iPhone 13 Pro Max

Hi KC4R,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. This may be due to restrictions in your settings. You can check to see if any restrictions are enabled from Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. You can disable restrictions entirely or you can also go to Content Restrictions on that same page and check to see if Explicit is selected for Music, Podcasts, News, Fitness. Additional Screen Time guidance can be found in Use Screen Time on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support.


Also, if no restrictions are enabled, check your library for songs from the same album. If you've added clean versions from the same album, perhaps that is related to the clean version being played.


Take care.
