As you know, using an Apple Music subscription involves automatic renewal without additional notification to the user and, accordingly, an advance payment is charged to his account for the provision of opportunities. Only the person who ordered the service can and must ensure the suspension or cancellation of its receipt and thus prohibit the transfer of funds for further use of the service if this is not planned. Let's look at how to do this using only the iPhone.
Before proceeding with any of the following instructions, please note that the final effect will depend on the type of Apple Music subscription you are cancelling. If you sign up for and deactivate a free trial version of access to the service, its functions will immediately become unavailable. If you cancel a paid subscription, the features provided by the system will remain available until the end date of the period for which funds have already been transferred.
Method 1: Music program
The easiest way to gain access to manage your Apple Music subscription is to use the tools provided in the service's affiliated iOS Music program.
- Open the Music program and go to the “For You” tab from the panel at the bottom of the screen.
- Tap the avatar located to the right of the “For You” section name - this will open a list of “Account” options. Click here "Manage Subscription".
- On the next screen, you can view information about the current subscription, as well as change its type, for example, switch from “Individual” to “Family” or vice versa. Once you've made your final decision to pause Apple Music, tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen. Confirm your intentions by clicking “CONFIRM” under the program prompt that appears, and then wait a bit.
- At this point, the operation to cancel your subscription in the Apple Music music service is completed, and its effectiveness can be verified by the message that appears under the name or “Ends: DATE” - depending on the active option (free/paid) of access to the service. Double-tap "Done" at the top right of the screen, after which you can close the Music program or continue using it.
How to reduce your subscription fee
It turns out that you can save money on the service. There are several methods on how to save on connection costs.
In general, there are 4 tariffs, more details about each can be seen in this video:
Each of which has a certain cost:
- Individual for a month – 169 rubles per month;
- Individual annual 1690 rubles per year;
- A family subscription, which includes 6 accounts, costs only 269 rubles for a month;
- A student subscription for a maximum of 4 years costs 75 rubles per month.
It immediately becomes clear that if the user wants to save money, then he needs to choose the appropriate tariff for himself. The most profitable of all is the student one, if the user wants to use it individually, but it is worth noting that for registration it is necessary to provide student status.
If the user is not a student, then there is an option to pay an annual individual subscription, since it is cheaper than a monthly one. If a person has a family, then he can negotiate with them and split the cost of paying for the connection. It will be even more profitable.
There is such a life hack: you need to cancel your subscription, and after a while the company will again offer a trial period - 3 months for 169 rubles. This is the most profitable and will save money.

Why do you need to disable your Apple music subscription on your iPhone?
It is worth noting that registering a connection is much more profitable than purchasing independent tracks. This service is distributed by subscription, that is, for the first 3 months the user can listen to the songs he likes for free, and after that he will have to pay a certain amount of money to continue working with this service.
This is precisely the main reason why many users want to disable their music subscription - the free three-month period has expired, they need to somehow disable the subscription so that they do not start writing off their savings.
Some users actually lose the need to pay a fixed price every month to listen to their favorite tracks.
