In apple music or itunes is it possible to create a smart playlist that excludes explicit material?

I would like to create a smart playlist that is everything in my usual playlist, but not the explicit material.

I would like to play it when I am doing a car trip with kids, especially a car trip with my kids and their friends and I am uncertain of the sensibilities of the newcomers.

I don't know of a way to to create a smart playlist that excludes explicit material.


If no-one else replies with a way to do this:

You may want to send a feature request to Apple, and if others also want this feature we may see it in an update!

They will likely not reply, yet your request will reach those who can make changes.

Web form for feedback / feature requests etc. : Feedback - Apple Music - Apple

You can set limits and restrictions for what you want to manage — on your own device or a child's device.

See how to: Use Screen Time on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support

Eg: says:

Content & Privacy Restrictions : You decide the type of content that appears on your device or on a child’s device that you manage. Block inappropriate content, purchases, and downloads, and set your privacy settings with Content & Privacy Restrictions.


There's also more info. in the article: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone and iPad - Apple Support

Eg: "Prevent explicit content and content ratings

You can also prevent the playback of music with explicit content and movies or TV shows with specific ratings. Apps also have ratings that can be configured using content restrictions.

  1. Go to Settings, then tap Screen Time.
  2. Tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, then tap Content Restrictions.
  3. Choose the settings that you want for each feature or setting under Allowed Store Content.


The types of content that you can restrict includes:

  • Music, Podcasts, News, Fitness: 

Prevent the playback of music, music videos, podcasts, news and workouts containing explicit content"


... and much more:


All the best :-)
