How to cancel Apple (App Store) Subscriptions — FAQ
I cancelled in the app but I’m still billed — why?
In-app cancel screens often don’t stop Apple billing. You must cancel under Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions.
How do I cancel Apple (App Store) Subscriptions on iPhone or Android?
If you signed up directly, you can cancel Apple (App Store) Subscriptions from any phone or computer browser in your account settings. If you subscribed through the Apple App Store or Google Play, cancel in that store's Subscriptions screen instead — deleting the Apple (App Store) Subscriptions app does not stop the billing.
How do I unsubscribe from Apple (App Store) Subscriptions without being charged again?
Cancel before your next renewal date. Apple (App Store) Subscriptions keeps your access until the end of the period you've already paid for, and once cancellation is confirmed you won't be billed again. Turning off auto-renewal has the same effect.
Can I cancel Apple (App Store) Subscriptions without logging in or without account access?
If you can't log in, recover your account first — or cancel where you're billed. The Apple App Store, Google Play or PayPal can stop the payment even without Apple (App Store) Subscriptions account access. As a last resort, ask your bank to block the recurring charge.
How do I get a refund or stop being charged by Apple (App Store) Subscriptions?
Turn off auto-renewal or cancel first so no new charges occur. For money already taken, request a refund from Apple (App Store) Subscriptions (or from Apple/Google if you were billed there). If they refuse and you cancelled in time, dispute the charge with your bank.
Still being charged?
If Apple (App Store) Subscriptions won’t let you cancel, send a certified cancellation letter (it’s legally binding), then dispute the charge with your bank and file an FTC complaint.
