Frequently Asked Questions

Will I lose my Apple Music playlists?

Your playlists are saved to your Apple ID and will be there if you resubscribe. However, you won't be able to play songs from the Apple Music catalog. Any music you purchased from iTunes is yours forever.

Can I cancel Apple Music on the web?

Yes. Go to account.apple.com, sign in, and manage your subscriptions. You can also cancel via the Apple Music app on Windows.

What happens to downloaded Apple Music songs?

Downloaded songs from the Apple Music catalog are removed when your subscription ends. Songs you purchased from iTunes remain.

Is Apple Music included in Apple One?

Yes. If you have Apple One, canceling Apple Music separately isn't possible — you'd need to cancel or change your Apple One plan.
