Problem with Apple TV 4k Content Restriction

Hi!


I bought myself a used Apple TV 4K today, and I started settling into it. I’m in a family account with my Fiancé, we are sharing an Apple Music Family account. I’ve allowed Explicit music on my account years ago, never had a problem with this before. However, once I logged into it on my TV, it said that certain songs are ‘Content restricted’ and I should allow explicit content in settings. Getting into settings even explicit option was on, but after fidgeting with it for an hour at this point, it still isn’t working. I turned on restrictions, on both accounts, allowed anything and everything to be explicit, restarted it, still doesn’t work. Checked whether mine or her account is restricted anyhow in the Family plan, couldn’t even find anything else, besides that we are both adults. I have no idea what to do at this point, so any help would be much appreciated.

Content restrictions on Apple TV are set per profile. On your iPhone check Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > App Store, Media & more > Music: set to Explicit. Also on the TV check Settings > General > Restrictions. Sign out and back in after.
