Music lovers are well aware of the Apple Music subscription service. The largest music library across all musical genres, including a large number of explicit languages, is available on Apple Music. Users don’t generally prefer to listen to explicit language music, so it can be turned off if someone doesn’t want to hear it. After turning off the explicit content, users can choose to only hear clean versions of songs on Apple Music, which has both explicit and clean versions of songs.
When playing music in public places like schools or other places where playing explicit music is prohibited, such as when there are children nearby, this feature is helpful. All connected devices can still have explicit music turned off, even if you’re using Family Sharing. However, a user can also disable it on their own.
On the Mac, iPad, iPhone, iTunes, and website, there are different processes for disabling explicit content in Apple Music. Here is a guide to turning off explicit content on Apple Music, if you’re ready.

Is There An Apple Music Clean Version?
For iOS devices, there is only one Music app and one version of the Apple Music streaming service. However, the methods mentioned above can be used to tailor the songs that are made available for streaming via Apple Music.
You can always turn off the service and limit young users to only listening to songs that you have downloaded onto the device if you still feel uneasy about letting them use Apple Music. Additionally, there are many family-friendly podcasts that are excellent for children to listen to while they are unattended or on long journeys.
You want even more power over the content your kids access on their smart devices. There are a number of well-known parental control apps that can keep an eye on and limit almost everything that can be done on smartphones, tablets, and computers.
Conclusion
The iPad and iPhone’s Screen Time feature is extremely versatile. Apps can have usage restrictions set by users that restrict how long they can use them. Users can also block websites by using Screen Time. The app usage timing is also displayed, and if the daily limit has been reached, users may not use the app any longer.
