How to Cancel Apple Music on iPhone and iPad

Canceling Apple Music on your iPhone or iPad is easy—except that you don't actually do the canceling in the Apple Music app (if you've canceled subscriptions on the iPhone before, this will be familiar). The steps are the same on both devices, but the screenshots are taken from an iPhone. To cancel Apple Music:

  1. Tap Settings.

  2. Tap [your name].

  3. Tap Subscriptions.

    Settings app, Apple ID, and Subscriptions highlighted in iPhone settings

  4. Tap Apple Music.

  5. Tap Cancel Subscription.

If you have an Apple One subscription, the steps are slightly different. When you get to step 4, tap Apple One > Choose Individual Services > tap the checkmark next to Apple Music > Keep Services.
