To block certain songs on Apple Music, follow these steps: On your iOS device, go to the song you wish to block, tap on the More options (the three dots), and select Dislike. While this doesn't immediately block the song, it signals to Apple Music your preference, and the algorithm adjusts to play it less frequently. For explicit content, enable Content Restrictions under Screen Time in your device’s settings to block explicit tracks across the app.
