How To Cancel Youtube Music Free Trial 2020
Uh Oh, Did You Forget About That YouTube Music Free Trial? (Me Too!)
Okay, let's be honest. We've all been there. You sign up for a free trial of YouTube Music, thinking, "This time will be different! I'll actually use it!"
Fast forward a week, a month... Oops. Turns out, Spotify is just too comfortable, right? And now you're staring down the barrel of a subscription fee.
The Great Escape: Cancelling Your YouTube Music Free Trial (Before It Bites!)
Fear not, my forgetful friend! I'm here to guide you on your quest to cancel that free trial before your bank account starts weeping. It's easier than you think, probably.
Must Read
First, grab your phone or computer. Doesn't really matter which. Just whichever one you're least likely to throw across the room in frustration.
The Mobile Mission: Cancelling on Your Phone
Alright, mobile warriors, let's dive in! Open the YouTube Music app. Yes, the very app you're about to betray.
Tap on your profile picture. You know, that little circle in the corner. Hopefully, it's an embarrassing photo from 2012. For maximum relatable-ness.
Now, find "Purchases and memberships." Tap it like you mean it! This is where the magic (or rather, the un-magic) happens.
You should see your YouTube Music Premium subscription staring back at you. Click on that bad boy.
Next, find the "Cancel" button. It might be hiding, but it's there. They want you to stay, you know?
They'll probably try to guilt-trip you with reasons to stay. Ignore them! You're stronger than their siren song of ad-free music.
Confirm your cancellation. They might ask you a million times. Be firm! Be resolute!
Boom! You're free! (Until you accidentally sign up for another free trial in six months. Don't worry, I won't judge.)
The Desktop Deployment: Cancelling on Your Computer
Okay, desktop dwellers, your turn! Open your web browser and head to YouTube. Not YouTube Music, just plain old YouTube.
Click on your profile picture again. Yep, same embarrassing photo rules apply.
This time, find "Purchases and memberships" in the menu. Sound familiar?
Locate your YouTube Music Premium subscription. Give it a stern look. It's about to be evicted.
Click "Manage membership." You're taking control of your digital destiny!
Find the "Cancel membership" option. Prepare for the guilt trip. It's coming.
They'll ask why you're leaving. You can be honest (Spotify is just too comfy) or make up a wild story about joining a monastery. Your call.
Confirm your cancellation. Again, they'll try to make you second-guess yourself. Stay strong!
Victory! You've successfully cancelled your free trial. Now go treat yourself to something you actually need. Like, I don't know, socks?
A Parting Word (From a Fellow Free-Trial Fugitive)
Cancelling free trials is a skill. A necessary skill in this modern age of endless subscriptions.
Don't feel bad if you forgot. We all do it. Just set a reminder next time. Or, you know, just stick with Spotify. (Unpopular opinion, I know!).
Go forth and enjoy your ad-supported life! (Or just find a really good ad blocker. I won't tell.)
