FAQ
Does uninstalling the app cancel the subscription?
No. Deleting an app never stops billing — you must cancel in Google Play subscriptions.
Still being charged?
If Google Play 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.
