Explicit content

You can restrict Pandora from playing songs or displaying ads with explicit language on Pandora radio stations. Enabling this filter will limit Pandora to playing music and ads that could play on daytime broadcast radio.

Something to keep in mind is that the Explicit Content filter removes explicit language only, and only for radio stations. Your stations may still play songs that encounter adult themes, situations, or suggestive album artwork, and on-demand content like albums, podcasts and playlists will not be filtered automatically.

In addition, while your personal Explicit Content setting will always be the same across our website, mobile app and desktop app, it will not affect in-home devices such as game systems, TVs and Blu-ray players. These devices filter explicit content by default because they are frequently used in family settings.

To adjust the Explicit Content filter on any in-home device, select the appropriate device under In the Home / On the Go.
