100 views

Apple Music plays censored versions of songs primarily because of Explicit Content settings. Your account might be set to restrict explicit content, leading to Apple Music playing the clean versions of songs by default. To change this, go to the 'Settings' app on your iOS device, scroll down to 'Music', and tap on it. Look for the 'Explicit Content' option and toggle it on if you wish to listen to explicit songs. Note that this option might be restricted based on your account type or family settings.
