How to cancel a subscription on Android

By the unsubscribe.guide Editorial Team · Last reviewed June 2026 · How we verify

Quick answer: Open the Play Store → profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions, tap the subscription, then Cancel subscription. Uninstalling the app does not cancel it, and this only works for subscriptions billed by Google (your statement says GOOGLE *).

This works on any Android phone to cancel or unsubscribe from a Google Play subscription and turn off auto-renewal. Below: the app and web methods, what to do when there's no Cancel button or you have multiple Google accounts, and how to get a Play refund.

Cancel in the Google Play app (fastest)

Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone.
Tap your profile icon (top right).
Tap Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
Tap the subscription you want to end.
Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts — you keep access until the period you paid for ends.

Or cancel from a browser

On any browser, go to play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions.
Sign in with the same Google account you subscribed with.
Find the subscription and click Cancel subscription, then confirm.

💡 No "Cancel subscription" button?

You may be on the wrong Google account — tap your profile photo in Play to switch and check again.
Or you weren't billed by Google. Check the charge name on your statement and cancel on the service's site or in the App Store instead.

Find subscriptions you forgot about

Play → profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions lists every active and cancelled Google Play subscription — check it under each Google account on your phone. To sweep your cards and inbox too, use our free statement scanner or inbox scanner.

How to get a refund from Google Play

Cancelling stops future charges; for the current one, go to play.google.com/store/account/order-history, find the charge and choose "Report a problem / Request a refund". Google reviews each request individually.

FAQ

There's no Cancel button on Android — why?

You're probably signed in with a different Google account than the one that pays, or you weren't billed by Google at all. Switch accounts at the top of Play, and check your bank statement — if the charge doesn't say GOOGLE *, cancel on the service's website or in the App Store instead.

How do I find subscriptions I forgot about on Android?

Open Play → profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions to see every active and cancelled Google Play subscription. Repeat for each Google account on the phone.

Does uninstalling the app cancel the subscription?

No. Uninstalling never stops billing — you must cancel in Google Play → Subscriptions. The charge keeps recurring until you do.

Can I get a refund through Google Play?

Yes — go to play.google.com/store/account/order-history, find the charge and choose Request a refund / Report a problem. Google reviews each request; cancelling first prevents future charges.

I have two Google accounts — which one has the subscription?

The charge belongs to whichever account subscribed. Tap your profile photo in Play to switch accounts and check Subscriptions under each one.
