Can I unsubscribe from Reddit anytime?

Yep, you can cancel whenever you want. You'll keep your Premium benefits until your current billing period ends, so there's no need to wait until the last day.

Can I get a refund from Reddit if I forgot to cancel?

Almost certainly not. Reddit's terms, and Apple's or Google's for that matter, are pretty strict. Once they charge you for a new period, that money is gone. Set a reminder next time!

How do I know my Reddit subscription is cancelled?

You should get a confirmation email from whatever service you used to subscribe (Reddit, Apple, or Google). You can also go back to the subscription page and it should say 'Expires on [date]' instead of 'Renews on [date]'.

How long does it take for Reddit to cancel?

The cancellation is instant. Your access to Premium features, however, will continue until the end of the billing cycle you've already paid for. So you don't lose out on time.

What else should I know before I cancel my Reddit subscription?

Just remember that you'll lose any monthly Coins you get from the subscription when it ends. Your account, karma, and posts are all safe, though. You're just going back to the free version with ads.

How do I raise a complaint to Reddit?

Your best bet is to file a support request through the Reddit Help Center. Don't expect a quick chat. It's a ticket system, so you'll have to wait for a response, which can take a while.

How to Cancel Your Reddit Subscription (2025)

How to Cancel Reddit Subscription on Desktop

Honestly, canceling on a desktop is the easiest way. I tried on mobile first and it was a pain. Weirdly, the page timed out on me once, so I had to reload it. Just use your computer for this one.

1 Log In to Your Reddit Account

First, head over to Reddit.com on your computer and log into the correct account. Don't do this on your phone's browser, it's just clunky.

2 Navigate to User Settings

Click your little avatar in the top-right corner of the screen. A big dropdown menu will appear. From there, select User Settings.

3 Find the Subscriptions Tab

In the settings area, look for and click on the Subscriptions tab. It's easy to miss with all the other options, but it's there.

4 Click to Cancel Your Subscription

You'll see your active Reddit Premium plan. Just click the big, red Cancel Subscription button. It might ask you for a reason, but you can just click through to finalize it. That's it.

How to Cancel Reddit Subscription on iOS

This is where it gets annoying. You have to cancel through your Apple Subscriptions, not the Reddit app itself. It's a classic Apple move to keep you inside their system. Super frustrating, but that's how it works.

1 Open the Settings App

You can't cancel in the Reddit app. So, unlock your iPhone or iPad and find the main Settings app, the one with the gray gears.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

Right at the very top of the Settings screen, tap on your name and Apple ID profile picture to open your account settings.

3 Go to Subscriptions

On the next screen, tap on Subscriptions. This will show you every single subscription tied to your Apple account. It can be a long list.

4 Find Reddit and Cancel

Scroll down until you find Reddit in the list and tap it. Then, just hit the Cancel Subscription button. Apple will ask you to confirm, and then you're free.

How to Cancel Reddit Subscription on Android

Like with Apple, you have to cancel through the app store, not Reddit. A user on Reddit actually complained, 'Took me 10 minutes to find the subscription menu in the Play Store.' And they're not wrong, it's not obvious.

1 Open the Google Play Store

First, find and open the Google Play Store app on your phone or tablet. Don't bother looking in the Reddit app, the option isn't there.

2 Tap Your Profile Icon

In the top-right corner of the Play Store, tap on your profile icon. This will open up the main account menu.

3 Select Payments & Subscriptions

From that menu, select Payments & subscriptions. Google hides the important stuff a few layers deep, doesn't it?

4 Go to Subscriptions

On the next screen, tap Subscriptions. This will show you all your active subscriptions through Google Play.

5 Find Reddit and Cancel

Find Reddit in the list, tap on it, and then hit the Cancel subscription button at the bottom. Just follow the prompts to confirm.

Before you cancel, know this: your Reddit account itself is totally safe. You just go back to the free version with ads. But don't expect a refund. If your subscription just renewed yesterday, that money is gone. It's a bummer, but it's their policy. Also, you can't pause your subscription, you can only cancel it outright.
