Canceling Apple Music on Your iPhone
When it comes to canceling your Apple Music subscription on your iPhone, you’ll need to navigate a few steps. But don’t worry, we’re here to guide you through the process. Follow along as we break it down.
Going to Settings App
The first step is to open the Settings app on your iPhone. You can find it on your home screen, and it looks like a small gear icon. Tap on it to open it up. At this point, you might be thinking, “What’s the Settings app all about?” Think of it like your iPhone’s control center – it’s where you go to adjust various settings and options on your device.
Selecting Music Option
Once you’re in the Settings app, scroll down to the “Music” option. This is where you’ll find the settings related to your Apple Music subscription. You might be wondering why this option is called “Music” instead of “Apple Music”. Think of it like this: Apple Music is a type of music service, and the “Music” option in Settings is where you control your music preferences and settings across different apps.
Tapping on View Apple ID
Next, tap on the “View Apple ID” option. This will take you to a page where you can manage your Apple ID settings. Think of your Apple ID like a digital ID card – it’s what helps keep your personal and device information secure. Here, you can update your password, email address, or other settings.
Finding Apple Music Subscription
Now that you’re on the “View Apple ID” page, scroll down to the “Subscriptions” section. You should see a list of your active subscriptions, including Apple Music. Tap on Apple Music to view its settings. You might be wondering what the subscription status means – don’t worry, we’ll cover that in the next section.
Canceling Apple Music on Your iPad
When it’s time to say goodbye to Apple Music, don’t worry – canceling your subscription is a breeze. Whether you’re using an iPad, iPhone, or Mac, we’ll guide you through the process.
Going to Settings App
To begin, locate the Settings app on your iPad. You can do this by finding the gear icon on your home screen and tapping on it. If you’re still having trouble, you can swipe down from the middle of your screen to open the Search tab and search for “Settings.”
Selecting Music Option
In the Settings app, tap on the “Music” option. This will take you to a dedicated screen where you can manage your Apple Music settings. You might also see “Music & TV” or “Music, TV, and Podcasts” – whichever version you have, it’s all the same.
Tapping on View Apple ID
Next, tap on “View Apple ID” at the bottom of the screen. This will prompt you to sign in with your Apple ID password. Take a moment to think about your Apple ID – it’s like your superheroes’ secret identity, the key to unlocking all your Apple services.
Finding Apple Music Subscription
Once you’ve signed in, scroll down the page until you find the “Apple ID Summary” section. This is where you’ll find all your subscription information, including Apple Music. Look for the “Subscriptions” tab and tap on it to reveal a list of your active subscriptions. Apple Music should be listed here – tap on it to proceed.
Canceling Apple Music on Your Mac
When you’re ready to cancel your Apple Music subscription on your Mac, follow these steps to avoid any unnecessary confusion.
Launching Apple Music App
First, you need to launch the Apple Music app on your Mac. You can do this by clicking on the Apple Music icon in the dock or by searching for it in Spotlight. Once you’ve launched the app, you’ll see a familiar interface with a navigation menu on the top left corner.
Clicking on Account Menu
Next, click on the account menu icon, which looks like a person silhouette or a gear icon, depending on your system. This will open a drop-down menu with various options. Click on “Account” to proceed to the next step.
Selecting View My Account
In the account menu, you’ll see a “View My Account” option. Click on this option to access your account information. You’ll be redirected to the Apple website, where you’ll need to sign in with your Apple ID and password (same as your Apple Music credentials).

Confirm that you want to cancel your subscription by clicking on “Cancel” in the pop-up window. Your subscription will be canceled, and you won’t be charged again.
Canceling Apple Music Subscription with Timers
Sometimes, it’s easy to forget about automatic subscription renewals until it’s too late. Apple Music’s subscription timer can be a powerful tool to help you stay on top of your subscription and avoid unwanted renewals. In this section, we’ll explore how to set a timer for automatic renewal and use a calendar to set reminders.
Setting Timer for Automatic Renewal
Have you ever set an alarm clock to remind you of a important appointment or event? Setting a timer for automatic renewal works in a similar way. By enabling this feature, you’ll be notified before your subscription renews, giving you ample time to review and adjust your subscription plan if needed. To set a timer for automatic renewal:
- Go to your Apple Music app on your device.
- Tap on the For You tab and then select Account.
- Scroll down to Settings and toggle on Automatic Renewal.
- Set the notification period you’d like to receive (e.g., 3 days, 7 days, etc.).
With this feature enabled, you’ll receive notifications at the specified time interval before your subscription renews, giving you the opportunity to pause or cancel your subscription.
Using Calendar to Set Reminders
In addition to setting a timer for automatic renewal, you can also use your calendar to set reminders. This way, you’ll receive notifications on your device or computer when your subscription is about to renew. Here’s how:
- Open your calendar app (e.g., Apple Calendar, Google Calendar, etc.).
- Create a new event with the subject “Apple Music Renewal” and set the date and time for the notification (e.g., 3 days before renewal date).
- Set the reminder to repeat daily or at a specific interval until the renewal date.
This method provides an additional layer of accountability, ensuring you stay on track with your subscription renewal cycle.
Canceling Subscription Before Renewal
Thanks to the timer and calendar reminders, you now have the opportunity to cancel your Apple Music subscription before renewal. If you decide you no longer want to continue with the service, follow these steps:
- Go to your Apple ID account page and sign in.
- Scroll down to the Subscriptions section.
- Find the Apple Music subscription and click Edit.
- Toggle off Automatic Renewal or pause the subscription to prevent renewal.
Remember to cancel your subscription at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid any additional charges. Despite the option to set reminders and cancel before renewal, it’s essential to regularly review your subscription plan to ensure it meets your needs.
