How to cancel Android app subscription
Let’s dive right into this tutorial and take a closer look at how to cancel your Android app subscription . The procedure to follow is very simple: just go to the appropriate section of the Google multimedia store, locate the one you want to disable and delete it using a special button.
To start, therefore, start the Play Store app by pressing the icon depicting the colored triangle on the Home screen or in the drawer (where the icons of all the apps installed on the device are grouped) and, if required, log in to the your Google account . Next, tap on your profile picture located in the upper right corner of the screen and select the word Payments and subscriptions from the menu that appears, then select the Subscriptions function in the next step.
Once this is done, presses on the name of the active subscription, press on the word Cancel subscription located at the bottom and, through the menu Why do you want to cancel? , indicate the reason for which you intend to deactivate the service (eg. Technical problems , I do not use the service enough , For reasons of costs, etc.). Finally, confirm your intention by pressing the Continue first and then Cancel subscription buttons . Mission accomplished! The subscription you took out was successfully canceled!
Alternatively, if you find yourself using your PC often , you can connect through your favorite browser to the management page of your Google account , logging in with your credentials if required.
Then, click on Payments and subscriptions located in the menu on the left panel, then scroll to the next screen until you find the Subscriptions section and click on the service you want to cancel there or, if you do not see it immediately, on the Manage subscriptions function below.
At the next step, confirm the selection by pressing again on the service in question, then, in the window that appears, press the word Cancel subscription and, exactly as seen in the previous paragraphs relating to the Play Store, specify the reason for the deactivation by selecting one of the options provided. Finally, confirm the intention twice using the appropriate buttons.
It must be said, however, that the procedure just described allows you to cancel only the subscriptions that are paid for through Google Play . With regard to subscriptions that provide for a different type of payment , the deactivation of the automatic renewal of the subscription must be done from the settings of your account attached to the service you want to deactivate.
If you do not know how to do this, it may be useful to do an online search , for example by typing the keywords “how to unsubscribe [app / service name]” and following the instructions you find on the official website of the service in question or the instructions you find in my articles (should they appear in the search results).
How to cancel iPhone app subscription
Now, let’s move on to the Apple side, and therefore let’s see how to cancel app subscription on iPhone or iPad . As I will show you in detail below, it is possible to proceed in two ways: go to the subscriptions section in the App Store or in the iOS / iPadOS settings .
Either way, the simplest solution is to visit this link . Subsequently, presses on the name of the subscription to be deactivated, select the Cancel subscription item at the bottom of the screen and, to conclude, press the Confirm button in the Confirm cancellation box , so as to complete the operation.
If you prefer to proceed through the “manual” path in the App Store , go to the Apple media store by tapping on the white A icon on a blue background located on the Home Screen and tap on your profile picture located in the top corner To the right. In the new screen that opened, press the item Subscriptions , in order to view the active subscriptions.
Alternatively, as anticipated, you can proceed from the Settings app of the device by tapping on the icon with the gears on the Home screen and, subsequently, on your name located at the top. In the next step you will have to first select the Subscriptions item and then follow the same instructions given above.
If through the procedures indicated above you were not able to cancel a subscription, try to proceed directly from the app relating to the service to which you are a subscriber or from its official website (usually you have to go to your account settings, in the section dedicated to managing the subscription, and proceed from there).
In this regard, to find the exact procedure to follow, do a search on the Internet by typing, for example, the phrase “how to cancel subscription [app / service name]” , then follow the instructions you find on the official website of the service. you want to terminate your subscription or the instructions you find in my tutorials published on the subject (where available).

How to cancel Windows app subscription
As for the cancellation of the subscriptions of applications for Windows , know that, at the time of writing, the Microsoft Store of Windows 10 and Windows 11 does not offer the possibility to proceed in this sense, which forces to act directly from the sites of the services to which you have subscribed.
As you can well understand, therefore, I cannot provide you with information regarding standard procedures to follow: the steps vary according to the service you intend to deactivate. To give you a practical example, if you want to deactivate your Microsoft 365 subscription , you must first go to this web page and, if you have not already done so, log in to your Microsoft account .
Once logged in, click on the Manage item located next to the active Office 365 subscription, click on the relevant Cancel subscription item there and repeat the same operation in the next step to confirm the intention to deactivate the service.
