Apple Music offers a free trial period for new subscribers, typically lasting 3 months for most users or up to 6 months with special promotions. If you're using the service on Android and want to cancel before the trial ends to avoid automatic charges, here's how to do it.
What Happens When You Cancel
Before you cancel, it's important to understand what changes:
- You'll lose access to Apple Music immediately after cancellation
- Any downloaded songs for offline listening will be removed
- Playlists created using Apple Music catalog songs will no longer be available
- Your personal music library and playlists from before the trial will remain
- You can always resubscribe later if you change your mind
Step-by-Step Cancellation Process
Follow these steps to cancel your Apple Music free trial on Android:
- 1.Open the Apple Music app on your Android smartphone or tablet
- 2.Tap the three-dot menu in the top-right corner of the screen
- 3.Select "Account" from the menu options
- 4.Tap "Manage membership" to access your subscription settings
- 5.Choose "Cancel free trial" on the next screen
- 6.Confirm cancellation in the pop-up window that appears
That's all it takes to cancel your Apple Music free trial. The service will remain active until the end of your current trial period, then automatically deactivate without charging your payment method.
Important Timing Considerations
For users who subscribed through Google Play, you can also cancel directly in the Google Play Store. However, the Apple Music app method works for all Android users regardless of how you signed up.
Remember to cancel at least 24 hours before your trial ends to ensure you don't get charged for the next billing cycle. Once canceled, you'll still have access to all Apple Music features until your trial period officially expires.
