How do I cancel a monthly subscription on my iPhone?

Answered by Randy McIntyre

To cancel a monthly subscription on your iPhone, follow these steps:

1. Open the Settings app: Locate the app with a gray icon that looks like gears. Tap on it to open.

2. Tap your name: Look for your name or Apple ID at the top of the Settings menu. It should be the first option listed below the search bar. Tap on it to continue.

3. Tap Subscriptions: Scroll down a bit until you see the “Subscriptions” option. It should be listed in the second group of options after “iCloud”, “iTunes & App Store”, and “Passwords & Security”. Tap on it to view your active subscriptions.

4. Find the subscription you want to cancel: You’ll see a list of all your active subscriptions. Look through the list and find the subscription you wish to cancel. Tap on it to access the details.

5. Tap Cancel Subscription: On the subscription details page, you’ll find various information about your subscription, such as the renewal date and price. Scroll down until you see the “Cancel Subscription” button. Tap on it to proceed.

6. Confirm cancellation: A pop-up will appear asking you to confirm the cancellation. It may provide additional information about any remaining time or benefits you’ll lose by canceling. If you’re sure you want to cancel, tap “Confirm” or “Cancel Subscription” to finalize the cancellation.

7. Verify cancellation: After confirming the cancellation, you should see a confirmation message indicating that the subscription has been canceled. Make sure to take note of the cancellation date and any remaining benefits you may still have access to until the end of the current billing period.

Please note that canceling a subscription will stop any future payments, but it will not refund any charges already made. Also, keep in mind that the steps may slightly differ depending on your iOS version or device model.

In my personal experience, I’ve canceled subscriptions on my iPhone several times. It’s usually a straightforward process, but it’s essential to double-check the details and cancellation date to avoid any surprises. I’ve found that tapping through the settings and subscription pages as described above helps to cancel subscriptions efficiently.
