How to cancel Apple Music

Explain how to cancel Apple Music

Apple Music is a paid streaming service

Apple Music is a streaming service that can be used with iTunes, and is compatible with both iOS and Android devices as well as browsers. The number of registered songs is 70 million, which is very large, and there are no advertisements during playback. You can also download your favorite songs and enjoy them offline, or create your own playlists.

Apple Music can be used as a 3-month trial, limited to one time per Apple ID (*). Payment will not be made during the free period, but you need to register a payment method such as a credit card at the time of registration.

During the trial period, all functions can be used without restrictions, so you can try out the usability of Apple Music while customizing it in your own way.

*When applying for a free trial, there may be a campaign to extend the trial period at a consumer electronics store or smartphone carrier.

Manual cancellation/withdrawal procedure is required to stop automatic charging

With Apple Music, subscriptions are automatically renewed even after the free period expires. Therefore, if you want to end the billing, you have to manually cancel or unsubscribe.

Please note that even if you no longer need Apple Music, the following actions will not cancel your Apple Music membership.

For example, it may be misunderstood that "If you want to cancel Apple Music, you can uninstall the software."

However, Apple Music is a subscription service that can be accessed from various places such as apps and PC browsers. In other words, uninstalling the Apple Music software only removes the appearance of Apple Music from a device. Just sign in from any other device and it works as usual. Therefore, you need to reconfigure the subscriptions you want to withdraw from the settings screen one by one.

■Introduction with an example

For example, if you start a 3-month free trial on October 20th, the free trial will end on January 20th. If you do not complete the withdrawal procedure at least 24 hours before January 20th, the usage fee will be debited on January 20th, and you will be able to use it from January 21st to February 20th. Even if you withdraw on February 1st, you can still use the paid plan functions until February 20th.
