Apple Music has been a very successful venture for Apple. During Apple’s WWDC on June, 2017, Tim Cook gleefully boasted that Apple Music now has more than 27 million subscribers.

Everyone is getting a free three month trial, but once that ends, Apple will start charging the credit card on your Apple ID with either the $9.99/month plan or the $14.99/month family plan (depending on what you selected when first signing up). If you want to cancel your subscription, or just keep it from auto-renewing so you can go month-to-month and manually activate it when you want, below we’ve put together a quick guide on how to unsubscribe to Apple Music.
