Apple bills this one

Apple Music is billed by Apple rather than by Apple Music directly. That means cancelling inside the app does nothing at all. Open iOS Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, and cancel it there. The same applies on a Mac under System Settings.

Cheaper than cancelling

If you would rather keep Apple Music than lose it, there is a cheaper way to have the same thing.

    Where to change it

Estimates, not quotes. The figures are a share of what you already pay, because a ratio survives currency and region and goes stale slower than a fixed price.

Worth knowing

Apple-billed — cancel via Apple Settings / StoreKit manage subscriptions. If purchased via Google Play on Android, cancel in the Apple Music Android app or at play.google.com instead.

Other music subscriptions
