Facetune, launched by Lightricks in 2013, is the app that made flawless selfies a one-tap job for everyone. It feels like every influencer and their dog uses it, which is probably why you're here trying to figure out how to stop paying for it. Maybe you downloaded it to fix one photo, or maybe you're just tired of seeing that charge pop up. With subscriptions ranging from $7.99 to $59.99, you can save up to $60 a year by canceling. This guide covers canceling on iOS and Android. Let's get this done so you can go back to posting your perfectly imperfect (or perfectly edited, we don't judge) pictures.
How to Cancel Facetune Subscription on iOS
Canceling on an iPhone or iPad is done through your Apple ID settings, not the Facetune app itself. They kind of bury it, probably on purpose. Don't get lost in the app looking for a button that isn't there.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Find and tap the gray 'Settings' gear icon on your home screen.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are right at the top. Tap on it.
3 Go to Subscriptions
You'll see a 'Subscriptions' option. If you don't, you might not be logged in correctly. Honestly, I had to hunt for this the first time.
4 Find and Tap Facetune
Scroll through the list of your active and expired subscriptions to find Facetune.
5 Hit Cancel Subscription
Tap the red 'Cancel Subscription' button. You'll have to confirm it one more time. That's it.
How to Cancel Facetune Subscription on Android
For Android users, you'll be diving into the Google Play Store. It's a similar process to iOS, but the menus look different. Weirdly, a friend told me the page timed out on them, so they had to start over. Just be aware.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find the colorful triangle icon for the Play Store on your phone.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
It's the little circle with your initial or picture in the top-right corner.
3 Select Payments & subscriptions
A menu will pop up. Tap on 'Payments & subscriptions'.
4 Go to Subscriptions
You'll see a list of all your subscriptions managed through Google Play.
5 Find Facetune and Cancel
Tap on Facetune, then tap 'Cancel subscription'. Follow the prompts to confirm. It might ask you why you're leaving, which feels a bit pointless, but you have to answer to finish the process.
Cancel Facetune Subscription with email
Facetune doesn't really do direct email support for cancellations, they want you to use the app stores. But for billing questions, you can use their contact form on the Lightricks support website. Expect a response in 24-48 hours. One user on Reddit said, "I sent a request about a double charge and it took them three days to get back to me, so don't hold your breath."
Before you hit cancel, know this. Facetune doesn't offer prorated refunds. If you cancel a day after your subscription renews, you've paid for the whole month or year. Super frustrating, but that's the policy for most app store subscriptions. You'll keep your VIP access until the billing period ends. As for your edited photos, they are usually saved to your phone, but it's a good idea to double-check and save anything important before you lose access.
