What happens to my downloaded music if I cancel my Apple Music subscription?

Asked 6 months ago
If you decide to cancel your Apple Music subscription, all the music you have downloaded and saved for offline listening will no longer be accessible. However, any songs you have purchased from the iTunes Store will remain in your library and you can listen to them without a subscription. It is important to note that the Apple Music subscription only grants you streaming and access to their vast library of music. Once you cancel your subscription, you will lose access to the service's exclusive features such as unlimited streaming and curated playlists curated by experts. Nonetheless, you can always re-subscribe to Apple Music in the future to regain access to the full range of its offerings.
