3 months of free music pop up..... I DONT WANT IT

So this has been bugging me for some time..... I am an infrequent user of the MUSIC app on my iphone, occasionally I will listen to music in the car, and rarely will I buy a new song but when i do, I actually CANNOT because the pop up KEEPS coming up, not only when i browse but also when i select a song i want to buy..... the pop up comes up and there is NO WAY i can choose to buy a song.


APPLE are limiting my access by employing tactics to FORCE me to take up the offer of the 3 months of free music, sorry, its not going to happen.... i do NOT want it.


Let me repeat this APPLE,...... i do NOT want a subscription to music at all, not now, but never.


Heres the thing..... on itunes on my PC, I can browse for music and I can purchase, no problem, no pop up rubbish, its fairly normal, straightforward and routine.


CAN SOMEONE TELL ME HOW TO STOP THE POPUP ON MY PHONE APPEARING EVERY SINGLE TIME I EVEN ATTEMPT TO BROWSE FOR AN ALBUM OR A SONG???????


Something this simple surely can be done, please let me know because i cannot see any option to stop this.


ps.... please do NOT suggest subscribing to get rid of the popup!!!

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Music > Show Apple Music, and make sure it's turned off.

Apple Support is not here. This is a user to user forum. Apple will not respond here. Only other users like yourself.


The Browse and For You sections in the Music App, are specifically for the Apple Music subscription service. Any content found there, requires a subscription to the Apple Music service so will always show the popup if you are not subscribed.


If you don't want to get the popup, then don't access those sections.


If you want to buy song, use the iTunes Store App, once bought, it will appear in the Music App in the Library section automatically.

Nope, doesnt work. The pop up still happens when you search for a song, like Justin Beiber as an example, and when you go to play the song, up comes the pop up..... even if you click on "Not Now" the pop up goes away and then when you click on the song to attempt to play it again, up comes the pop up.


Its highly intrusive and is NOT needed from a players point of view, its just apple shoving something down your throat without caring how it affects us.


Anyone else with a better solution, because turning off Apple music does NOT stop the pop up.


Actually, even better..... anyone from APPLE actually want to explain whats going on here and justify why Apple are being highly intrusive or tell me how to turn this **** thing off on my phone??

APPLE SUPPORT.......... I am still waiting for an action or suggestion on this please.


My last resort is to phone you, hope I don't get ignored on the phone as well. No-one wants that to happen.


Thanks in advance for your help, really looking forward to the guru's out there that can help me (and most likely a ton of other people too)
