Apple Music has just launched with a three month free trial — and a £9.99 monthly auto-renewal at the end of it, unless it’s turned off.
Signing up to the service means committing to keep paying, unless you choose to stop auto-renewals. But stopping them is easy to do.
Clicking on the little red silhouette in the app brings up your profile. From there you can select “View Apple ID” and head to “Manage”, under “Subscription” — on that page, you’ll see all of your subscriptions, including those for magazines, as well as Apple Music which is under “Your Membership”.
Clicking on that will mean you’ll be able to see all of the subscription settings, including when the free trial will end and what sort of subscription you’re on. To stop the auto-renewal, you can simply toggle the relevant button, which is at the bottom of the list.
If you don’t uncheck the auto-renewal, the card associated with your Apple ID will be charged £9.99 a month, or £14.99 on the family plan.
