Why am I being forced to trial apple music for 3 months on my iPhone?

Instead of spending time fiddling with ways to avoid it, you could always just hit the button, sign up, and immediately cancel.

Have you tried restarting/resetting your phone and attempting to go to your music once again?

• Press and hold the Sleep/Wake button
• Press and hold on the Home button
• Keep holding both buttons until the display turns off and back on with Apple logo on it.

Alternatively, you may go to Settings - General - Reset - Reset All Settings

Have you tried just tapping on Go To My Music? It may not look like a "button" but it wouldn't be there if you couldn't just tap on it. No-one is forced to trial Apple Music.

Hi,

You aren´t forced, you need to press to "go to my music" button. You can activate apple music when you want.

The "GO TO MY MUSIC" actually is a link but you have to hold your finger on it for a second or so instead of tapping it. This actually just really ****** off my spouse because she had tried to listen to her music last night and kept tapping but it never passed through to her music. To me, this is just a way to try and get people to try the trial. It reminds me of those stupid spyware installs that come with an app on a Windows machine, which disgusts me.

I've been an Apple user since the Apple II days in the early 80's. I've never seen Apple try to monetize their customers more than they are today. I pay more for Apple hardware to avoid this crap.

Turn off Apple Music in the Settings App.

Settings > Music > Show Apple Music > Turn this off

You should not have to download Amazon music player or any other.

As has been stated before all you need to do is go to Settings and then go to Music and where is has Show Apple Music, just slide it to off.

Then go and click on the Music app and it should show up My Music, so click on My Music and then you have the option of clicking on Playlists and you can then get all your own music there.

It worked first time for me once I had updated, but you might need to re-boot your phone to get it to work, but there should be no need for any other music players if you switch it off.

Tapping "Go to My Music" worked fine on both my iPhone 6 and iPad Air 2, I don't understand why it fails on your iPhone. It's definately a link and it should take you directly to your music (and this splash screen does not reappear the next time you launch the Music app, though I have a sneaking suspicion it will come back in a month or two unfortunately, see below).

It is irritating that Apple have started redisplaying this screen again, months after they initially did so when Apple Music first launched. Also, Settings/Music/Show Apple Music off does not stop this splash screen from being displayed - I switched that setting off months ago and the screen still reappeared just now when I launched Music app. It seems Apple are determined to remind us that their music streaming service still exists even if we told them we weren't interested back when it launched... Hey Apple, I'm still not interested in Apple Music - please stop bugging me about it!
