Launched on June 30, 2015, Apple Music is among the top music streaming services in the world. It cannot be separated from the large number of users who subscribe to this service. As of 2023, Apple Music’s subscribers reached 92 million, which increased by around 4 million compared to the previous year.
On Apple Music, you can discover the best songs from over 100 million songs available. And you can listen to your favorite ones on your iPhone, iPad, Mac, Apple Watch, Windows PC, and even on Android devices.
Even so, there will be reasons for users to cancel their subscriptions, such as it being too expensive, lots of issues on the app, or certain ones. If Apple Music is no longer everything to you, it’s best for you to cancel it before being charged at the next billing cycle.
