I hope you're also doing well. To disable autoplay on Apple Music for both your Mac and iOS devices, follow these steps. On your Mac, open Apple Music and play any song. Next to the playing track, you'll find an infinity symbol, which represents autoplay. Simply click on it to turn off autoplay. For iOS devices, while a song is playing, tap on the 'Now Playing' screen and you'll see the same infinity symbol near the bottom. Tap it to deactivate autoplay. This should effectively stop autoplay on both your devices. Feel free to reach out if you need more assistance. Stay safe!

I will give step by step instructions for disabling auto play on an iPhone using VoiceOver.

1. Navigate to your music library and choose anything and start playing it.
2. Go to the bottom of the screen and locate the mini player. You now need to expand the mini player so the now playing screen appears.
3. You need to go to the bottom right corner of the screen and find the button that says play next auto play on. If it just says play next, auto play is already off.
4. Now you need to double-tap this button and it will say selected play next auto play on.
5. Go to the top of the screen once this button is selected. Now swipe to the right until you hear auto play on.

6. Now just double-tap it to turn it off.
7. Now find the button on the bottom right of the screen and deselect it. This will return the now playing screen to normal.

I hope you will find these instructions useful.
