When I was still on Android, I subscribed to Apple Music at Google Play.
Now I'm on iOS, but I'm paying my subscription still via Google.
The price is the same - but it would be nicer if I can manage everything in my Apple account.
Is there a way to move gapless, without losing my playlists etc.?
Maybe cancel it at Google, and order it through the Appstore again when it is still active?
Thanks

I would suggest contacting Apple Support.
No guarantee that they can move your subscription in a seamless fashion, but if it is possible, they would be the only ones who could do it.
The Apple Music subscription is usually tied to an Apple Account and paid through Apple from there.
If you are paying directly through Google Play, then you need to cancel it from there and re-subscribe through an Apple device that is logged in to the Apple Account you want to use for it.
Do note, any albums, tracks or playlists you have from the subscription service may be removed when the subscription is cancelled, and would need to be manually reacquired or recreated.
See the following Google Link to confirm the subscription is being payed through Google Play.

If it shows up there, then yes, you need to cancel it from there. If it doesn't, then its not being managed by Google Play our you logged in with the wrong Google account.
Thank you - of course it shows up there. I started using Apple Music when I had a Samsung phone.
I'll ask the support if there is anything they could do.
Otherwise I'll stay with Google Play for this.
So I finally cancelled my Apple Music subscription managed by Google. Apple support told me too that I will lose my playlists etc. and that they can't help.
For this worst case, I installed an app called Hezel, for backing up everything.
To my surprise, it wasn't necessary. When the Google subscription ended, Apple Music asked if I'd like to continue - managed by my Apple account.
I confirmed that, and everything was still there!
That is what I feared.
But Apple Music IS visible in my Apple Account. It just says that it is managed by Google Play. So I hoped I could start an overlapping subscription somehow.
How to move my Apple Music subscription from Google Play to Apple?
