by

When you subscribe to an Apple Music individual, student or family plan, or take advantage of Apple's free ‌Apple Music‌ trial, your subscription automatically renews every month or every year using the payment information you used when your first signed up to the service.

If you want, you can turn off this auto-renewal charge by following the steps below.

  4. On the Subscriptions screen, select your Apple Music Membership .
  5. Select Cancel Subscription on the next screen.
