How to Cancel Your Apple Music Subscription on macOS and iOS
If for any reason you decide you want to cancel your Apple Music subscription, you can quickly do it from most of your Apple Devices. Before deciding to cancel it, make sure you know what will happen to your account after the subscription's cancellation.
When you cancel your Apple Music or iTunes subscription, you will not be able to listen to any of the tracks, including the ones you downloaded to listen offline. After around 30 days, the playlist you have created and the songs you have added might get removed from your account.
If you cancel a paid subscription, you can use it until the billing period ends, but if you cancel a free trial, the subscription will end immediately. Suppose you use Apple Music on multiple devices. In that case, it is enough to cancel the subscription on one device, and it will be automatically removed from the other devices as well.
After you have canceled your Apple Music subscription, you can still listen to songs and albums that you have purchased from the iTunes Store. The subscription canceling process is very easy and almost effortless. To find out how to cancel your Apple Music subscription, read below.
