Fix the Windows App Restriction (Most Common Cause)

Apple Music for Windows has its own built-in content rating toggle that does not match your iPhone settings.

Do this:

  1. Open Apple Music for Windows
  2. Click Settings (bottom-left gear icon)
  3. Go to General
  4. Scroll to Content Restrictions
  5. Turn OFF:
    • Clean content only
    • Restrict explicit content

Restart the app.

Try playing an explicit track again.
