YouTube Music is a streaming service that offers a vast collection of songs, albums, playlists, and music videos from various artists across the globe. YouTube Music Subscription offers a range of awesome features, such as ad-free listening, background playback, offline access, and the ability to explore exclusive content from your beloved artists. But you need to spend $10.99 each month to enjoy all these added features.

YouTube Music Premium is a popular choice but is not the best fit for everyone. You can cancel your subscription at any time and continue using the free version of the service if you no longer believe that these features are worth the $10.99 monthly charge or if you want to use another service instead of YouTube Music. But your account and playlists will still be available.

This article shows how to cancel your YouTube Music Premium subscription on PC and on your mobile device.
