How do I cancel Apple Music?

While everyone loves music to some degree, Apple Music isn't necessarily the best subscription service for you, especially with the likes of Spotify and YouTube Music offering some steep competition. So, if the abundance of singles, albums, and artists on Apple Music isn't enough for you, or you simply prefer the layout of a different service, you can cancel your subscription easily.

Here's how to cancel Apple Music on your iPhone:

  • Open settings on your device
  • Tap your name
  • Go to subscriptions
  • Choose Apple Music
  • Tap cancel subscription

Here's how to cancel Apple Music on your browser:

  • Go to the music.apple.com
  • Sign in
  • Hit the account icon
  • Choose settings
  • Go to subscriptions
  • Hit Manage
  • Choose cancel subscription

Can I restore my Apple Music account?

No, you can't restore your Apple Music account. You're more than welcome to restart your subscription anytime you like, but when you cancel your account, you lose all of your songs and playlists. Naturally, if you actually purchased anything, that remains on your account, but everything else is gone, so you need to search for and download your favorite tracks all over again. Reorganizing everything is a lot of work, so make sure you absolutely have no intention of returning to the service.

There you have it, how to cancel Apple Music.
