We're here to tell you how to cancel Apple Music, because sometimes you need to trim the fat and get rid of some subscriptions. For you, it might be that Apple's service doesn't make the cut, or maybe it doesn't give you the same experience as a competitor like Spotify. The reason doesn't matter - we've got your back, so let's look at what you need to do.
Then, should you want to try a new music subscription, our Spotify download and YouTube Music download guides can help you out. We can't blame you if you choose to switch over - Spotify Wrapped is pretty cool, and YouTube Premium includes YouTube Music.
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 hate the sound of Zane Lowe's voice so don't want access to his Apple-Music-exclusive radio show, you can cancel your subscription easily.
Here's how to cancel Apple Music on your iPhone:
- Open your phone's settings
- Tap your name at the top

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.
