How to cancel subscriptions on iPhone
You can end your subscriptions from your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Apple TV. If you have a PC or Mac, you can cancel in iTunes.
Some apps and services have a subscription model where you pay a monthly or yearly fee to access their content. Once you subscribe, you have access to the content for as long as the subscription is active.
You can always check which subscriptions you currently have and are active from your device. In most situations, you can also manage your subscriptions from there. For example, you might be able to upgrade or downgrade your subscription, or cancel it entirely.
If you cancel a subscription, you will still have access to the app until the end of the period you have already paid for. For example, if you purchase a one-year subscription on January 1st for $10 and decide to cancel on July 1st:
Your subscription will automatically renew on Jan. 1 of each year.- If you cancel your subscription, you will still have access to the app until the end of your current billing cycle.- If the app has a free trial period, it will end when you cancel your subscription, even if it is still within the trial period.- Some apps might have a grace period after you cancel when you can still access all content. This grace period varies by app and is not refundable.
