How to change your Apple Music plan in 3 simple steps

Apple Music offers several plans at different price points, including a student plan (which is discounted) and a Family Plan (which allows up to six people to share one account).

And luckily, if you pick one plan but later find that you'd like to sign up for another, it's easy to change your Apple Music plan.

To do so, you'll need to use the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.

It's important to note, though, that you can only share the Family Plan with six people — including yourself. And to sign up for the student plan, you'll need to have a valid college or university ID.

Here's how to change your Apple Music plan.

How to change your Apple Music plan

1. On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app and tap your name at the top of the page. This will open your Apple ID profile.

2. Tap "Subscriptions."

3. On the page that opens, you'll be able to select your new plan. When you select one, you'll be asked to confirm it by signing into your Apple ID, or using your Touch or Face ID. If you select the student plan, you'll be brought to a page where you'll have to verify your university enrollment.

You can cancel your Apple Music subscription from this page as well.
