Frequently asked

Can I cancel Apple Music and keep iCloud?

If they're separate subscriptions, yes. If you're on Apple One, you have to downgrade to a tier that includes iCloud but excludes Music — or cancel Apple One and re-subscribe to iCloud individually.

Replay 2026 and previous years stay viewable on the web at replay.music.apple.com, even after cancellation.
