How to Cancel Your Apple Music Subscription (2026)

Apple Music bills through your Apple Account, so in most cases you cancel it in your subscription settings - on iPhone, Mac, Windows, Android or the web. This guide covers every device. Apple changes its menu layout from time to time, so confirm the current steps inside your own Subscriptions list before you finish.

How to cancel, step by step

1Cancel on iPhone or iPad

Open Settings, tap your name at the top, tap Subscriptions, tap Apple Music, then tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.

2Cancel on the web

Go to music.apple.com, sign in, click the My Account icon, choose Settings, scroll to Subscriptions and choose Manage, then Cancel Subscription.

3Cancel on Mac

Open the App Store, click your name in the bottom-left, choose Account Settings, scroll to Subscriptions and click Manage, then cancel Apple Music.

4Cancel on Windows

Open the Apple Music app (or iTunes), click Account > View My Account, scroll to Subscriptions and click Manage, find Apple Music, click Edit, then Cancel Subscription.

5Cancel on Android

Open the Apple Music app, tap the three-dot menu, choose Account, tap Manage Subscription, then Cancel Subscription and confirm.

6Verify it's cancelled

Check that the plan shows an end date instead of a renewal date. You keep access until the current billing cycle ends.

Frequently asked questions

Will my downloaded songs still play after I cancel?

Songs you added from the Apple Music catalog stop playing once your subscription ends. Music you bought or imported yourself remains available.

Do I keep access until the end of the month?

Yes. Most Apple Music plans stay active until the current billing cycle ends, even after you cancel.

How do I cancel an Apple Music trial without being charged?

Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial's end date. After cancelling, the trial still runs to its end date but won't convert to a paid plan.
