WHEN APPLE MUSIC launched, the company treated everyone to a free three-month trial of the service.
Anyone could opt in to the free trial at any time by opening up the Apple Music app and signing up.
But in the fine print, Apple said that if you didn’t cancel before the end of the trial, you would enrolled in its “auto-renewal” program and be charged €9.99 per month (or €14.99 for a family account). You will be billed to the same credit card you store in iTunes for buying apps or music.
If you were an early adopter, that three-month period will expire any day now, and it’s time to decide whether you actually want to pay for the service.
If you are — unlike Google chairman Eric Schmidt — a fan of Apple Music, just do nothing and you’ll continue to get access until you cancel. But if Apple Music didn’t convince you, or if Spotify’s focus on artificial intelligence just jives better with your music discovery tastes, you should probably cancel soon.
Here’s how to turn auto-renewal off.

Thanks for that journal, I’d've forgotten otherwise. I hardly used it at all..
Same! Thanks
Sorry but what is the first thing you open. Is it settings, Spotify or something else. Thank you
Open music first.
Thanks I needed this information
gave it a try but apple is so lame with iTunes / music app, interface is not user friendly and not intuitive for me, playlist lacking, back to Spotify premium – King so far !
I’ll be keeping it. The live iTunes sessions are class and love the for you section!
I actually use it a lot with Siri.
Every day or two I’ll just say, “Hey Siri, play the top songs in the charts” or, “play some Children’s songs” (for my daughter), or “play some stand up comedy”, and off it goes playing me cool new stuff I usually haven’t heard before.
It’s pretty good, though mainly because it’s free.
Why don’t the red thumbers just feck off for this one. We are only trying to get a bit of help!
It’s just that they put it in bold writing in the article, there’s even a red arrow in there. This comment only makes it funnier, sorry.
Little Jim. I am just 70 and love my iPod,my iPad,my smart phone, and my kindle.
Ok it takes me a little bit of extra tuition to figure some things out but I am still proud of myself.
Now just to make you laugh a bit more I still haven’t figured it out yet.
Maybe you are so smart you can help me out here.!
Fair play to you Mary, I am sorry. Open “music” and open the pics on this article on another device, just take your time from there.
Thank you little Jim will do that first thing I the morning when I am as fresh as a daisy x
Here here Mary! I was eventually able to turn it off. Turns out there was a problem with my set up.
On the 3rd pic where it says to tap manage under subscription, I don’t have subscription option. Does this mean I’m ok?
Did you register for it??
Or subscribe i should say?
I thought I did but maybe I didn’t complete it.
I can’t disable it on my iPad or iPhone – anyone having same problems ???
Merci buckets
Done thank you.
have your say
