How to cancel Huawei Music in malaysia and protect your subscription rights
What is Huawei Music and why you might want to cancel
Huawei Music is a subscription-based music streaming service built into Huawei's Mobile Services ecosystem. It operates across Huawei phones, tablets, watches and other connected devices in Malaysia, with billing managed through your Huawei ID rather than a standalone account portal. Understanding what you are paying for and how to stop it is essential, because the service operates on an auto-renewal model that charges you automatically unless you disable it before your renewal date.
The subscription model and what premium includes
Huawei Music Premium is the paid tier of the service. According to Huawei's Malaysian consumer support pages, Premium grants you offline listening, unlimited access to a music catalogue spanning millions of tracks, ad-free playback, high-quality audio streaming, and eligibility for selected promotional campaigns. The monthly cost is approximately RM51 (€9.99), which is significantly higher than competing streaming services available in Malaysia.
The service operates on a continuous auto-renewal contract. This means that unless you actively disable auto-renewal before your renewal date, Huawei will automatically deduct the monthly fee from your registered payment method. Critically, Huawei deducts the renewal charge one day before your stated renewal date, not on the date itself. If your renewal is scheduled for the 20th, the charge will process on the 19th. This timing matters when you plan your cancellation.
The legal framework governing Huawei Music in malaysia
Huawei Music subscriptions in Malaysia are governed by Malaysian consumer law, specifically the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (CPA 1999) and the Distance Contracts Regulations 2012 under the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Act. Under these laws, you have the right to cancel a distance contract (which includes digital subscriptions) within 14 calendar days from the date of the contract, provided Huawei has not yet begun to supply the service. Once the service has begun, your cancellation rights become limited to stopping future renewals rather than claiming a refund for the current period.
Yafee recommends that you understand this distinction clearly: you can cancel future payments at any time, but you cannot recover money for the current active billing cycle unless Huawei has breached its contract with you or misrepresented the service.
How to cancel Huawei Music step by step
Cancellation of Huawei Music happens entirely within the app or through your Huawei account settings. There is no dedicated postal address or in-person office for subscription cancellation in Malaysia, so you must use the digital method outlined below.
Check your billing date and payment method first
Before you initiate cancellation, open the Huawei Music app and navigate to your subscription settings to locate three pieces of information: your next renewal date, your current plan name (Premium or Free), and the payment method linked to the subscription. Take screenshots of these details for your records. This protective step ensures you have evidence of what you cancelled and when, which becomes important if a charge appears after cancellation.
Yafee's legal specialists emphasize that because Huawei charges one day before the renewal date, you should cancel at least two days before your next billing date. If you cancel on the renewal date itself, the charge may already have processed.
Disable auto-renewal inside the Huawei Music app
Follow this sequence to stop future charges:
- Open the Huawei Music app on your device and sign in with your Huawei ID.
- Tap the Library icon at the bottom of the screen (usually depicted as three horizontal lines or a menu symbol).
- Select Settings from the Library menu.
- Tap Manage subscription or Subscription settings (wording may vary slightly depending on your device and app version).
- Locate the toggle for Monthly renewals or Auto-renewal and switch it to the OFF position.
- Confirm the action when the app prompts you to verify.
Once you complete this action, the app will display a confirmation message and your subscription will expire at the end of your current billing period. No further charges will be deducted after that date.
Check your payment method settings if you subscribed via apple or google
If you originally started your Huawei Music subscription through Apple App Store (via an iPhone or iPad) or Google Play Store (via an Android device), you must also disable auto-renewal through that store's own billing system, not just within the Huawei Music app. Disabling it only in the app may not prevent the store from continuing to charge you.
To cancel an Apple subscription, go to Settings on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Huawei Music, and tap Cancel Subscription. To cancel a Google Play subscription, open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon, select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, locate Huawei Music, and tap Cancel subscription. Yafee recommends completing both cancellations (in-app and via the store) to eliminate any risk of continued billing.
Request written confirmation from Huawei support
After you disable auto-renewal, contact Huawei support to request written confirmation of your cancellation. Huawei's Malaysian support team operates Monday to Sunday, 9:00 to 18:00, via live chat on Huawei's consumer support website. Provide them with the date you disabled auto-renewal, your Huawei ID email address, and your next scheduled renewal date. Ask for an email confirmation stating that your subscription is set to expire and no further charges will be processed.
This written record protects you if a charge appears after cancellation, because you then have documentary evidence that you cancelled in advance and Huawei failed to honor your request.
Your legal position regarding cancellation and refunds
Under Malaysia's Consumer Protection Act 1999, you hold specific statutory rights when cancelling a digital subscription. However, these rights operate differently depending on whether you are cancelling during a trial period, within 14 days of purchase, or after the service has already begun.
Cancellation within 14 days (trial or early purchase)
If you subscribed to Huawei Music within the last 14 calendar days and Huawei has not yet begun to supply the service, you may have the right to cancel and receive a refund under the Distance Contracts Regulations 2012. This applies primarily to free trial periods that convert to paid subscriptions without your explicit consent, or to purchases where Huawei failed to provide clear pre-purchase information about auto-renewal terms.
To enforce this right, contact Huawei in writing (via email) stating that you wish to cancel within the 14-day period under the Distance Contracts Regulations and request a full refund. Include your order date, subscription plan, and the date you are making the cancellation request. Huawei must respond within 30 days.
Cancellation after 14 days (stopping future renewals)
Once Huawei has begun to supply the service to you (which happens immediately upon subscription activation), your cancellation right under the Distance Contracts Regulations expires. At this point, you cannot claim a refund for the current or past billing periods. However, you retain the right to cancel future renewals at any time, which is what the in-app cancellation method accomplishes.
This distinction is critical: cancellation stops future charges but does not recover past payments. Under Malaysian consumer law, Huawei is only obliged to refund you if it has materially breached the contract (for example, if the service was unavailable for an extended period, or if charges were deducted without your authorization).
Your consumer protection authority in malaysia
If Huawei refuses to honor your cancellation request or continues to charge you after you have disabled auto-renewal, you can escalate your complaint to the Malaysian Communications and Multimedia Commission (MCMC) or the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNKK), which enforces consumer protection law in Malaysia. Yafee advises documenting all your cancellation attempts, including screenshots, email confirmations, and the dates you contacted support, before filing a formal complaint.
What happens after you cancel
Cancellation does not remove you from the Huawei Music ecosystem immediately. Your Premium features will continue to work until the end of your current billing cycle. On the expiry date, your account will revert to the free tier of Huawei Music, and you will retain access to the free music catalogue with ads.
Access and feature changes after expiry
Once your Premium subscription expires, you will no longer be able to download tracks for offline listening, you will see advertisements between songs, and your audio quality will revert to standard bitrate. Any playlists, library history, and favorites you created will remain in your account, but offline downloads will be deleted if you do not refresh your Premium access before they expire.
If you wish to re-subscribe to Premium later, you can do so by reversing the auto-renewal setting or purchasing a new subscription through the same method.
Verify the cancellation on your next billing cycle
Monitor your payment method (credit card, debit card, or associated mobile account) during the week after your scheduled renewal date to confirm that no charge has been processed. If a charge appears despite your cancellation, contact Huawei support immediately with your cancellation confirmation and request an immediate refund. If Huawei does not refund within 14 days, escalate to KPDNKK.

Huawei Music Premium's monthly cost of RM51 is approximately three times higher than competing services. This pricing structure makes it an economical choice primarily for Huawei device owners who already subscribe to Huawei's broader ecosystem, but it is significantly more expensive for casual users or those without multiple Huawei devices.
Common mistakes that lead to continued charges
Cancellation is straightforward, but several common errors result in users being charged after they believe they have cancelled.
Cancelling only in the app, not in the payment store
If you started your subscription through Apple App Store or Google Play Store, disabling auto-renewal in the Huawei Music app alone will not prevent the store from continuing to charge you. You must disable it in both locations. Many users cancel in the app and then are surprised to see a charge from Apple or Google weeks later because they forgot to cancel the store billing separately.
Cancelling on your renewal date, not before it
Because Huawei deducts the renewal charge one day before your renewal date, cancelling on the actual renewal date is often too late. If your renewal date is the 15th, the charge processes on the 14th. Cancel by the 12th or 13th to ensure the charge does not go through.
Assuming cancellation happens instantly
After you disable auto-renewal, the subscription remains active until the end of your current billing period. Some users cancel and then immediately try to use Premium features, discover they still work, and assume the cancellation failed. The app will explicitly confirm that your subscription is set to expire on a specific date. Your Premium access continues until that date, then ends automatically.
Not requesting written confirmation
The weakest cancellation is one with no documentation. If you disable auto-renewal only through the app and keep no record, you have no evidence if Huawei later charges you again. Always request written confirmation from support, even if the in-app confirmation appears to succeed.
Checklist before you cancel
Use this checklist to ensure your cancellation is complete and protected:
- Write down your next renewal date (not the cancellation date, the renewal date)
- Take a screenshot of your Premium subscription page showing the renewal date
- Take a screenshot of your payment method in the Huawei account settings
- Identify whether you subscribed via Huawei directly, Apple App Store, or Google Play Store
- Disable auto-renewal in the Huawei Music app
- If you subscribed via Apple or Google, disable auto-renewal in that store's settings as well
- Request written confirmation of cancellation from Huawei support via email
- Save the support email confirmation for your records
- Monitor your payment method one week after the renewal date to confirm no charge occurs
- If a charge appears, contact Huawei support within 14 days and request a refund
Huawei Music cancellation is handled entirely through digital channels in Malaysia. No dedicated postal office or physical address exists for subscription management.
