4. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions. Tap the one you want to cancel.
5. Scroll to the bottom and tap the red Cancel Subscription button. If you only see a "Resubscribe" option or an expiry date in red, it means the subscription is already cancelled and will not renew.

3. How to Cancel on a Windows PC

On a Windows PC, you must use either the Apple Music/TV app or the older iTunes application.

• For the new Apple Music or Apple TV app: Open the app, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, and select 'View My Account'. Scroll down to the Settings section, find 'Subscriptions', and click 'Manage'. From there, you can cancel.
• For older iTunes for Windows: In the menu bar at the top, go to Account → View My Account. Scroll down to 'Settings', find 'Subscriptions', and click 'Manage' to cancel.

Can't Find Your Subscription? (Common Fixes)

This is a very common problem. If you don't see the subscription in your list, it's almost always one of these four reasons:

• You're signed into the wrong Apple ID. Many people have an old Apple ID with a different email. Search all your email inboxes for "receipt from Apple" to find the one that's being charged. Then, sign in with that Apple ID.
• The subscription is part of Family Sharing. If a family member is the "Family Organizer" and they subscribed to the service, only they can cancel it from their account. You will not see the option to cancel on your device.
• You subscribed directly from the company's website. If you signed up for Netflix, Spotify, or Disney+ on their website (not through the App Store), you must go to their website to cancel. It will not appear in your Apple subscriptions.
• You subscribed via Google Play (on an Android device). If you use Apple Music on an Android phone, you might be billed through your Google Play account. You'll need to cancel it in the Google Play Store app.

5. What Happens After You Cancel?

• You can still use the service: You will have access to the subscription until the end of the current billing period. For example, if your subscription renews on the 30th and you cancel on the 15th, you can still use it for the next 15 days.
• What happens to iCloud data: If you cancel your iCloud+ storage plan and your data exceeds the free 5GB limit, Apple will not immediately delete your data. However, syncing and backups will stop working until you free up space.
• What happens to Apple Music/TV downloads: You will lose access to all downloaded songs and shows. They are tied to an active subscription and will become unplayable after it expires.
