[Summary]: How to avoid being charged by Apple Music after the free trial? This tutorial guides you on how to cancel Apple Music subscription before the three-month free trip ends in order not to be charged for automatic renewal by default.

Apple Music is one of the subscription-based music streaming services. Subscribers can listen to music and discover new artists in the Music app on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Android phone, and Apple TV, or iTunes on your Mac and PC. If this is your first time using Apple Music, you will get 3 months of free access. Signing up for Apple Music's three-month free trial requires an Apple ID account with a valid credit card. Besides, the auto-renew feature is always enabled by default, so Apple will automatically charge you a $9.99 monthly service fee ($14.99 if you have a family option) after the trial ends.

Many users plan to cancel their Apple Music subscription before the end of the free trial. To avoid surprise charges, you can disable auto-pay now. Here is a quick and easy step-by-step guide on how to cancel your Apple Music subscription on iOS or iTunes before the free trial ends.
