How to Listen to Clean Content on Spotify

Spotify music sometimes includes explicit content due to the Spotify policy which is offering music as the artist wants it to be heard. But if you do not want to listen to content containing explicit words, Spotify provided various ways to let you listen to clean content on the Spotify platform. You can filter the explicit content on your Spotify account. Also, you can find clean versions of an explicit track on Spotify. There is the premium family plan on Spotify which children can use Spotify, too. This makes explicit content a serious issue for families. But the good news is that the managers of the family plan (the manager is the person who creates the plan and handles the payments of the premium plan) can block all of the explicit content on Spotify for each member of the plan they want. If you are looking for a clean Spotify, read the article below, and choose one or all these methods.

How to Filter EXPLICIT Content on Spotify.

Choose the app you are using and follow the instructions.

If you want to switch off the EXPLICIT content on your mobile or tablet, follow the instructions below. You can also look at the picture to understand the procedure better.

2. Go to the Home section by tapping on the home icon in the down-left corner of your screen.

3. Select the gear icon in the top-right corner of the page to go to the Settings section.

4. In the settings tab, scroll the page to find the Explicit Content section.
