Apple TV+ Profanity Filter

Enjoying clean and family-friendly content can be a challenge, from cable television to streaming platforms. Luckily, many of the streaming giants like HBO Max give users tools to remove content with cursing and objectionable content so parents can rest easy knowing their families can only access what is appropriate.

Let’s explore how the show and movie filters HBO provides users helps deliver a family-friendly title selection, along with some additional filtering tools that can help you. 

How Can I Watch Shows Without Profanity on Apple TV+

To watch shows without profanity on Apple, users can navigate to the Apple TV+ profanity settings on their TV by:

  • Press and hold the TV button on the Siri Remote to open the “Control Center”
  • Choose the “General Settings” tab on Apple TV
  • Then, General > Restrictions

Turn on Restrictions and enter the 4-digit passcode

From there, you have several content access control options:

  • Purchasing movies, TV shows, and apps
  • Making in-app purchases
  • Playing movies or TV shows from the Apple TV app based on content ratings (see note below)
  • Playing iTunes movies or TV shows based on content ratings
  • Opening apps based on age ratings
  • Playing content identified as explicit
  • Blocking downloads or playback of items from search results for content identified as explicit
  • Playing multiplayer games in the Game Center
  • Adding friends in the Game Center
  • Changing AirPlay or Location settings

These options are the extent of in-content profanity removal limitations. While great to have these abilities as parents, many feel it doesn’t go far enough or reflect their values and how they are raising their children. Which is why we created the Enjoy Movies Your Way solution.

Enjoy Movies Your Way: Your Advanced Profanity Filter for Apple TV+

Enjoy Movies Your Way offers the most advanced profanity filter out there, ensuring a family-friendly viewing experience for Apple TV+ users. Our user-friendly interface makes removing foul language and inappropriate content amazingly simple.

Our profanity filter technology comes in two forms: an AI language filter and a visual scene filter. Our AI program “reads” movies and shows to catch and eliminate profanity based on the filters you’ve chosen. Rather than “bleeping” it out, the word isn’t heard or seen in the subtitles and our scene filtering allows you to adjust settings for scenes, which is much more in-depth than simply a mechanism to censor swear words:

  • Choose the level of non-graphic violence (fighting without blood or bruises)
  • Select the level of graphic violence (fighting with physical marks and blood)
  • Sexual content
  • Adult themes (subject matter)
  • Drug content

You can also preview scenes in a show or movie to decide whether or not it’s appropriate for your family to watch and adjust the filters accordingly. With all the options to explore, many parents wonder if the user experience is confusing. We can assure you it’s easier than digging for parental controls on numerous platforms. Our filters are pre-set but can be easily adjusted by MPAA ratings (G, PG, R, etc) or adjusted more in-depth using each category’s dropdown settings. For example, the level of violence isn’t just if blood is shown, you can even include threats of violence to be removed.
