Based on the business model, there are several types of apps and games on the Google Play Store.
First is the application which is free.
We can download and use this application for free, but usually there will be ads in the application as a way for the developer to earn income.
The second is an application or game with in-app purchases or IAP (In App Purchase).
We can use this type of application for free, but there are some features or items that are locked and can only be used if we pay for it.
There are also applications and games with a subscription system, where we have to pay a certain amount of money every month/year.
Applications that fall into this type are usually music services , cloud storage, and the like.
We can cancel the subscription at any time from our Google Play account, but there are still many people who don’t know about it.
Therefore, in this article, I will provide as detailed a tutorial as possible so that you can follow it.

And congrats, now you have successfully canceled your subscription or app on the Google Play Store.
Google Play will no longer charge for the service, because you’ve already canceled it.
Can I resubscribe?
Of course. You can re-subscribe at any time if you change your mind. Whether it’s a game or an application.
Will my money be returned?
It all depends on the policy of the application developer .
There are some developers who provide a 15 day money back policy, some don’t.
So make sure you know the policies of the app or game you are using.
Does this only have an impact on the phone I’m using?
No, this will affect all phones using the same account.
For example, you use one Google account on 5 phones.
So if you unsubscribe from an application, all 5 of your phones will also automatically unsubscribe from the same application.
