How to cancel Apple Music

A quick, up-to-date guide to cancelling Apple Music — and keeping proof that you did, in case you're charged anyway.

Before you click cancel: the moment you cancel is exactly when proof matters. CancelProof records your cancellation — the pages, the clicks, the confirmation — so if Apple Music bills you after you cancel, you have a refund pack ready. Get notified at launch

Cancel Apple Music in 5 steps

  1. Open music.apple.com in a web browser and click Sign In if needed.
  2. Click the account icon at the top of the page, then choose Settings.
  3. Scroll to Subscriptions and click Manage.
  4. Click Cancel Subscription and confirm.
  5. Keep the confirmation email from Apple as proof that your subscription was cancelled.

What happens after you cancel

You'll keep access to Apple Music until the end of your current billing period, then you won't be charged again. Once it expires you lose access to the Apple Music catalog and any playlists you built from it, and Sync Library turns off, but music and playlists you owned before subscribing stay on your device.

Subscribed through Apple, Google, or another provider?

Important: If you subscribe through a bundle or third party, cancel where you signed up. Apple One subscribers manage the whole bundle in Apple subscriptions; if you subscribed through a carrier or partner, contact that company; and if you were billed via Google Play on an Android device, cancel in the Apple Music app on Android or at play.google.com.

Charged after cancelling Apple Music?

It happens more than it should. If a charge lands after you cancelled, here's how to get your money back from Apple Music — and why documented proof is what makes the difference.

Frequently asked questions

Will Apple Music charge me after I cancel?
It shouldn't. After you cancel, Apple Music keeps your access until the end of the billing period you've already paid for, then stops billing. If a charge still appears, see our guide on being charged after cancelling Apple Music.
Does cancelling Apple Music delete my account?
No. Cancelling stops future billing but usually keeps your account so you can return later. Deleting your account is a separate action in Apple Music's settings.
How do I know my Apple Music cancellation worked?
Look for a cancellation confirmation email from Apple Music and check that your account shows the plan ending. Keeping that confirmation — an email or a screenshot — is your proof if there's ever a dispute.

Cancelling something? Keep the proof.

CancelProof records your cancellation automatically — so if you're charged anyway, you're covered.
