Can’t play explicit podcasts!

Hello


I'm using iOS 18 on my (iPhone15pro), and when I try to listen to podcasts, I get this message: "Enable explicit content under Screen Time in Settings to play this episode."


I've always enabled explicit content, and after checking, I see that it's already set to "Explicit" under Screen Time in the Settings app for Music, Podcasts, and News.


I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Podcast app and also reset my iPhone and surprise... it still doesn't work either.


I have no such problem with Macbook, iPad, Apple TV.

iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 18

Hi,

i found a solution(at least it worked for me)

Go to itunes store

search for any explicit song

try to play to hear the preview

itunes store it says that explicit content are not enabled, and ask u if you want to enable it

reply yes

listen the preview of the song

go back to podcast and play the censored podcast and now it works
