How Do I Disable Apple Music?

Disabling Apple Music depends on what you specifically mean. Here are a few interpretations and how to address them:

1. Turning Off Autoplay:

This stops Apple Music from automatically playing similar songs after your current selection ends.

• Steps:
  1. Open the Apple Music app and start playing a song.
  2. Expand the "Now Playing" screen (usually by tapping the song title at the bottom).
  3. Tap the "Up Next" icon (it looks like three lines with three dots) in the bottom right corner.
  4. Tap the Autoplay icon (the infinity symbol) to toggle it off. When it's off, it will be grayed out or look inactive.

2. Cancelling Your Apple Music Subscription:

This prevents you from being charged monthly for Apple Music access and removes access to the streaming library.

• On iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:

  1. Open the Settings app.
  2. Tap your name at the top.
  3. Tap "Subscriptions." (If you don't see "Subscriptions," tap "iTunes & App Store" instead. Then tap your Apple ID, tap "View Apple ID," sign in, scroll down to "Subscriptions," and tap it.)
  4. Tap "Apple Music Membership."
  5. Tap "Cancel Subscription." (You may need to scroll down to find it.)
  6. Confirm your cancellation.

• On Android:

  1. Open the Apple Music app.
  2. Tap the three dots (menu) icon.
  3. Tap "Account."
  4. Tap "Manage Subscription." This will open your Google Play subscriptions where you can cancel.

• On a Mac:

  1. Open the Music app.
  2. In the menu bar, choose Account > View My Account.
  3. You might be asked to sign in with your Apple ID.
  4. Scroll to the Settings section and click "Manage" next to Subscriptions.
  5. Click "Edit" next to Apple Music.
  6. Click "Cancel Subscription."

• On a PC:

  1. Open iTunes.
  2. In the menu bar, choose Account > View My Account.
  3. You might be asked to sign in with your Apple ID.
  4. Scroll to the Settings section and click "Manage" next to Subscriptions.
  5. Click "Edit" next to Apple Music.
  6. Click "Cancel Subscription."

3. Disabling Apple Music From Appearing:

You can disable showing Apple Music entirely. This mainly applies to features like Siri integration. Disabling specific features may depend on the device. Refer to your device’s settings or the Apple Support documentation.

Important Note: Cancelling your subscription won't immediately remove your downloaded music. It will still be on your device, but you won't be able to play it after your subscription ends unless you purchase it.
