Questions people ask
Does deleting the app cancel my App Store subscription?
No. Removing the app from your device does not stop renewals. You must go to Settings, tap your name, open Subscriptions, and cancel it there.
Why is there no Cancel button for my subscription?
If there is no Cancel button or you see an expiry date in red text, the subscription has already been cancelled. It will stop at the end of the current billing cycle.
How do I avoid getting charged when a free trial ends?
Cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you cancel later, Apple will renew the plan automatically.
Can I cancel a subscription shared through Family Sharing?
No. You cannot cancel a family member's subscription from your device. The family member whose Apple Account appears on the purchase receipt must cancel it.
Can I stop an App Store subscription from my bank app or network provider?
Apple subscriptions are managed under your Apple Account, not through your bank app. However, if you received the subscription through your wireless network operator or another provider, you must contact that provider to cancel.
