I just subscribed to Apple Music family sharing and shared with my family members who already had an individual account. Will their subscription for the individual plan cancel or should they manually cancel their individual subscription

According to the footnote in the first section of:

Get an Apple Music family subscription - Apple Support

"If someone in the family group already has an individual or student subscription to Apple Music, renewal of that subscription is automatically canceled when they join the family group."


They should NOT cancel manually or they will lose their current music library and have to start from scratch.
