Apple Music is one of the most popular streaming platforms, offering access to millions of songs, curated playlists, and offline downloads. If you’ve signed up for a free trial but decided it’s not for you, it’s important to cancel it before the trial period ends—otherwise, you’ll be automatically charged for the next month’s subscription.
In this guide, you’ll learn how to cancel your Apple Music free trial on different devices — including iPhone, iPad, Mac, Windows, and Android.
Before diving into the steps, here are a few common reasons people decide to cancel:
Confirm your cancellation.
Tip: You’ll still be able to access Apple Music until your trial period expires, even after you cancel.
Scroll down to Subscriptions and click Manage.
Find Apple Music and click Edit.
Click Cancel Subscription.
If you use iTunes:
Select Apple Music and click Cancel Subscription.
Open the Apple Music app on your Android device.

If you don’t have access to your devices:

Apple Music trials usually last one month, though some promotions may offer up to six months. You can check your trial’s expiration date by:
Going to Settings > Subscriptions > Apple Music (on iPhone), or
Viewing your Account > Subscriptions on iTunes or the App Store.
You’ll have access to Apple Music until the end of the trial period, even if you cancel early.
You’ll lose access to Apple Music’s streaming library once your trial ends.
Your downloaded songs will no longer play offline.
Your playlists and preferences are saved for a limited time in case you reactivate your subscription later.
Canceling your Apple Music free trial is quick and easy, no matter which device you use. Doing it before your trial expires ensures you’re not charged unexpectedly. If you ever decide to come back, you can resubscribe anytime using your Apple ID.
