Apple Music is billed through your Apple Account, so it is cancelled from iPhone Settings rather than on Apple Music's own website. It takes about thirty seconds.

If you do not see Apple Music on that screen, it is being billed somewhere else — check whether a family member manages it through Family Sharing, or whether it came bundled with something else.
Worth knowing: Apple Music is always billed by Apple, so the Settings route is the only one. If you are on Apple One you cannot cancel Apple Music separately — you have to cancel or downgrade the whole bundle.
Songs added from the Apple Music catalogue disappear from your library, including downloads. Music you purchased or uploaded yourself stays. Playlists are remembered for a while if you resubscribe.
Always confirm it worked. Look for a cancellation email, and re-open the billing page to check the status reads cancelled or "ends on [date]". Then set a calendar reminder for the day after the period ends and check your card statement. A surprising number of cancellations do not take on the first attempt.
Most services have a cheaper tier that people never look at, and several offer a pause instead of a cancellation. If you use Apple Music occasionally rather than never, a lower plan or a temporary pause usually beats cancelling and resubscribing at a higher price later.
