When I search up any artist or song it will only display their clean versions of songs, and before anything yes in screen time settings i have explicit settings on for music. The weird thing is if they do not have a clean version of a song, I can still listen to the explicit one. Its just extremely inconvenient that I cant search up explicit versions of albums or songs. It even messed up some of my playlists.

This i think has to do with ‘Browsing’. So on their ‘Album Versions’ usually the default version displayed on an Artist’s main page is the Clean one if there’s also an Explicit one. But if you click one of those clean albums you can usually scroll down to ‘Album Versions’ and click the Explicit version. With singles this is trickier because they’re often released separately so apple might not have the versions linked the way album versions are to each other. (Some artists have clean version only on singles, and the albums all explicit it just varies). Kendrick Lamar for example actually does have most of his albums in a Explicit and Clean pair. I think sometimes the clean versions are also default more often when it is teens/kids popularizing rather than adult listeners because most artists i listen to it usually defaults on the explicit versions (im in my 30s); Mykki Blanco in comparison releases all of her stuff as explicit only with no clean versions and i suspect she doesn’t show up much in searches for those with explicit OFF
Why is apple not showing me explicit music/albums/playlists
