The way you cancel Apple Music depends on where you signed up. We cover all the options below, including direct cancellation through Apple and third-party billing providers.
Apple Music is integrated directly into Apple's ecosystem, so cancellation happens through your Apple ID settings rather than a separate Apple Music account. This is true even if you're using Apple Music on Android or Windows.
These steps work for most Apple Music users. Your exact process depends on which device you're using to manage your Apple ID.
