Apple Music Parental Controls: How to Block Explicit Songs
Apple Music is a music streaming service that has millions of songs in its library. The service is available on all iOS devices and comes pre-installed on all Apple devices. With so many songs available, it’s not surprising to find that some songs may have explicit content that parents do not want their kids to listen to. In this article, we will discuss how to use Apple Music parental controls to block explicit songs.
Step 1: Enable parental controls
The first step is to enable parental controls on your device. To do this, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. Here, you can enable Content & Privacy Restrictions and set a passcode.
Step 2: Block explicit music
Once you have enabled parental controls, you can block explicit music. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > Content Restrictions > Music, Podcasts & News. Here, you will find an option to ‘Explicit Language’. You can toggle this option to ‘Don’t Allow’.
Step 3: Set up a parental advisory account
If you want to take parental controls a step further, you can set up a parental advisory account. This account will limit the types of music your child can listen to based on their age. To set up a parental advisory account, go to Apple Music > Account > Manage Subscriptions > Parental Advisory Account.
Step 4: Block explicit music by song
If you want to block explicit music by song, you can do so in Apple Music. Open the Music app and find the song you want to block. Tap the three dots next to the song and select ‘Block Explicit Content’. The song will no longer be available to play on your device.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Apple Music has many features that allow you to control the type of music your child can listen to. By using parental controls, you can block explicit music and set up a parental advisory account to limit the types of music your child can listen to. Blocking explicit music by song is also an option. With these features, you can ensure that your child is listening to music that is appropriate for their age.
