YouTube Music cancellation questions

Can I cancel YouTube Music on my iPhone?

Only if Apple bills you. If Google bills you, Google says to cancel on a non-iOS device, like a computer.

Can I pause YouTube Music instead?

Yes, for 1 to 6 months, unless you're on a yearly plan or Apple bills you. Your downloads are kept, but locked until you resume.
