by the iTunes Store. One of those will be Apple Music. If you double-tap on that subscription, you will be on a page that has a checkbox controlling auto-renewal. If you uncheck that box and save your changes (I think you select a “done” button), you should be good to go. Grant On Jul 1, 2015, at 9
