If you are on the same boat but have already made up your mind to ditch Apple Music, then let me show what you must do to cancel your subscription. It should also work if all you are looking for is avoid getting billed at the end of Apple Music’s generous 3-month trial. Just keep in mind that you can cancel your Apple Music subscription on any device that you use it on, be it an iPhone, an Android smartphone, a Mac, or a Windows PC. And since your subscription is tied to your Apple ID, the cancellation will automatically apply to all devices. Note: Despite canceling your subscription, you can keep using Apple Music until the end of the current billing period. You can see how much time you have remaining during the final stages of the cancellation process.
