Explicit content

Spotify includes explicit content because we offer it how the artist intends it to be heard.

Look out for EXPLICIT or E tags on any releases.

Note: We can’t tag all explicit content because it depends on information we get from rights-holders.

 

Filter explicit content

Pick your device to allow or block anything with explicit tags.

Mobile & Tablet

Note: Explicit content settings don’t apply if you use Spotify Connect to play to another device.

  1. Tap Home Home icon.
  2. Tap Settings Settings icon.
  3. Tap Explicit Content.
  4. Switch Allow Explicit Content off.

Anything with an explicit tag is now grayed out. You can’t play it, and it’s automatically skipped.

Note: Explicit content settings don’t apply if you use Spotify Connect to play to another device.

  1. Click Down arrow icon in the top-right and select Settings.
  2. Under Explicit Content, switch Allow playback of explicit-rated content off.

Tracks marked as explicit now appear grayed out. It’s not possible to play them, and they’re automatically skipped.
