How To Disable Automatic Apple Music Renewals And Cancel Your Subscription

Apple Music has become available to the public, last week, together with the iOS 8.4 update. Many of us have instantly jumped on the bandwagon and kick started the free, 3-month-long trial period, to see if the service lives up to the expectations. However, to be able to use this offer you have to subscribe, with your iTunes account and pick the membership plan that you wish to follow, once the trial expires. This means that there is action required from your end, if you don’t wish to be charged after the three month testing period ends.

If you enjoy Apple Music and wish to continue to use the service, there is no other action required, once you initially subscribe to the service. The default setting charges your credit card link to your iTunes account, automatically, every month. As you might already know the fee is $9.99 for an individual membership, or $14.99 for a family plan, available up to 6 members.
