Tips for Apple Music complaints

  • Set calendar reminders before free trial periods end to avoid unwanted charges
  • You can cancel at any time - the subscription runs until the end of your billing period
  • Check if your subscription is billed through a third party (Apple, Google, etc.) as you’ll need to cancel through them
  • Under the Digital Markets Act, companies must make cancellation as easy as sign-up
  • Keep records of what you were promised when you subscribed
