How to Stop Apple Music Auto-Renewal

Apple Music launched on Tuesday, and Cupertino is offering users a three-month free trial in the hopes that you'll eschew Spotify, Rdio, or another service for Apple's approach to streaming.

After you update to iOS 8.4 and launch the new Music app, Apple will offer you the chance to start your free trial, which will link up to your Apple ID. In a matter of seconds, you'll be compiling playlists, scrolling through Apple's recommendations, and listening to Beats 1.

It's fast and convenient, but signing up for the free trial also auto-enrolls you in Apple Music. A $9.99 per month charge will automatically be applied to your Apple account when the three-month free trial has expired. The good news, however, is that you can opt out and decide on your own whether you want to start paying for Apple Music. Found out how below.
