Just got another promo for Apple Music. Still not interested. For the third time,I went into settings, Notifications and selected “Don’t allow”. Really starting to hate Apple.
Got a tip for us?

That has been happening for several years. Not a big deal. I see nothing wrong with Apple doing that. If it happens after you said 'don't allow, then there is a problem.
My thoughts exactly. I said “don’t allow” and still I get messages. That IS a big deal.
Settings > Music > Show Apple Music (toggle)
Do you have that toggle enabled? I turned that off when I first got my iPhone 13 and haven’t seen any notifications from Apple Music.

No I didn’t. Thanks,I'll do that. Typical of Apple to make it complicated.
thanks again.
thanks again.
I was getting nag messages inside the Music app, those nag messages disappeared when I turned that toggle off. I’m guessing toggling off will also disabled the notifications you’re getting.
Thanks for your help Iwavvns.
Apple respects your privacy _so_ much, that they don't remember your settings.

I think I've had probably 2 years of free Apple Music through various trials. I basically always use it for a couple of days, then give up and let the trial expire and because it's just not a good user experience. I dislike Spotify too but at least the app is decent for finding what I'm looking for.
It's been a few months so I should be getting a new free trial any day now.

Oh that's nothing. Apple has spammed my inbox daily with an Apple One free trial offer that if I open it just tells me I'm ineligible. I had to disable their emails. This is just advertising harassment.
I get your point in general but it’s not complicated and actually makes sense.
Ha! I thought I was the only one.
As an aside, I thought having just bought a Apple Watch Ultra 2 I'd get a free trial offer or two… but nope. Nothing. Just the one you mentioned.
Not eligible. 🤣
Oh Apple.
Well this thread was disappointing… I thought we were going to discuss the greatness of Tony Danza.
Just pray Apple don’t secretly turn it back on after a software update, or just after some time, without you knowing.
Yeah I get those 3 months free promos on my phone I always decline I just hate Apple Music app design I prefer Spotify.
My experience was Apple Music is really bad at discovery, so I chose to not subscribe to it after I did the trial. I kept iTunes Match and continued to use my own library. I remember getting really annoyed with these ads back in 2015/2016, they kept popping up in the stock Music app.
I migrated my entire collection to Plex and it's been a dream. Discovery of my own music inside of Plex has been great - it often brings out tracks that I own, that I didn't realize I own. I still find new stuff in my library, there's no ads, my playlists and listening experience just works across devices.
These notifications are annoying, spammy and un-Apple-like, imo. I think this is a practice that the beats people put in place at Apple.
