Tap the subscription you want to cancel. I no longer have my Apple Music account, but as you can see, I have Apple TV+ and Apple Arcade (and, at least for now, I have no intention of cancelling them). If you can’t see your Apple Music subscription (like I no longer see mine), that means it’s already cancelled.

On the Apple Music Subscription page, scroll down and hit Cancel Subscription. If you cancelled your subscription already, but there’s still time left in your billing cycle, you won’t see the Cancel Subscription button. Instead, you’ll see a note telling you when the subscription ends.
