How to cancel Spotify Premium — FAQ
Does cancelling Spotify delete my playlists?
No. Your playlists and library stay on the free account; you just lose offline downloads and ad-free playback.
How do I cancel Spotify Premium on iPhone or Android?
If you signed up directly, you can cancel Spotify Premium 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 Spotify Premium app does not stop the billing.
How do I unsubscribe from Spotify Premium without being charged again?
Cancel before your next renewal date. Spotify Premium 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 Spotify Premium 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 Spotify Premium 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 Spotify Premium?
Turn off auto-renewal or cancel first so no new charges occur. For money already taken, request a refund from Spotify Premium (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 Spotify Premium 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.
