My Question or Issue

As a user of Spotify, I have disabled the Spotify setting "Allow Explicit Content" and I am wanting to ensure either clean versions of songs are played or Explicit Content is skipped.

 

I have also enabled the iOS explicit content restriction through Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions -> Content Restrictions -> Music, Podcasts, News and  Workouts -> Clean .

 

In reality, if I play a managed Spotify Playlist, i.e. "Hot Hits Australia". This works as expected, Explicit Content is skipped.

 

If I ask Siri, 'play Hot Hits Australia on Spotify'. Spotify will start playing Explicit Content and this is undesired behavior where Explict Content has been disabled.

I seemed to have fixed my issue by following the clean install steps at: https://community.spotify.com/t5/FAQs/How-can-I-perform-a-clean-reinstall-of-the-app/ta-p/4746485

I will report back if the issue presents itself again.
