To cancel an Apple Music subscription, open your account settings on the device you use for Apple Music, find Apple Music under Subscriptions, and tap Cancel Subscription.

If a Carrier or Apple One Bills You

What Happens to Family Plan Members
If you manage a family plan, canceling ends access for everyone in the group. Family members lose the shared Apple Music library, stop sharing purchases, and no longer appear to each other in the family Find My list.6Apple Support.

Tell them before you cancel so they can start their own plan if they want to keep listening.
After You Cancel
Streaming and downloaded playback continue until the last day of the billing period you already paid for. After that, downloaded tracks stop playing because the playback license is revoked. Your library and playlists aren’t deleted immediately; Apple retains that data for a period after cancellation to support reactivation. If you’ve built playlists you care about, backing them up with a third-party tool before canceling is worth the few minutes.
If a renewal charged you unexpectedly, request a refund at reportaproblem.apple.com: sign in, tap “I’d like to,” select “Request a refund,” pick a reason, choose the charge, and submit. Apple usually responds within 48 hours, though approval isn’t guaranteed and eligibility varies by region. You can’t dispute a pending charge; wait for the receipt email first. A refund request doesn’t cancel the subscription on its own, so do both if you want future charges to stop.7Apple Support. Request a Refund for Apps or Content That You Bought From Apple
