So, you're ready to cancel RTL Plus. Maybe you signed up to watch the latest season of 'Ich bin ein Star – Holt mich hier raus!' and now the jungle drama is over. It happens. RTL Plus, a German streaming service launched from the TVNOW platform in 2021, offers a ton of local shows and reality TV. But when it's time to go, it's time to go. Subscriptions range from about $7.49 to $19.99, so you can save up to $240 a year by canceling. This guide covers how to cancel on your desktop, iOS, or Android device without losing your mind.
How to Cancel RTL Plus on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to RTL Plus through the Apple App Store, you have to cancel it through your Apple account. RTL Plus can't cancel it for you, which is a bit of a pain.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon on your iPhone's home screen to open Settings.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings menu. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on the Subscriptions option. This will show you all the active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel RTL Plus
Scroll through the list to find your RTL Plus subscription. Tap on it, then select Cancel Subscription. You'll need to confirm your choice. If you don't see it here, you likely subscribed directly on their website.
How to Cancel RTL Plus on Android
Canceling on Android is done through the Google Play Store, assuming that's where you started the subscription. It's a pretty straightforward process.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the app you use to download new apps and games.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google manages all your recurring charges.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions to see a list of all your active app subscriptions. Sometimes you have to scroll a bit to find what you're looking for.
5 Cancel RTL Plus
Find RTL Plus in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel subscription button at the bottom and follow the prompts to confirm. That's it.
How to Cancel RTL Plus on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for anyone who signed up directly on the RTL Plus website, not through an app store. Honestly, this is often the easiest way to manage a subscription.
1 Visit the RTL Plus Website
Open your web browser and navigate to the official RTL Plus website. Click the Login button, which is typically in the top-right corner.
2 Go to Your Account Settings
Once you're logged in, find your profile icon or name. Click on it and look for a link that says Account, My Account, or Settings.
3 Find the Subscription Section
Inside your account settings, there should be a section labeled My Package, Subscription, or Billing. This is where your plan details are stored.
4 Initiate the Cancellation
Look for a button or link that says Cancel Subscription or Manage Subscription. They'll likely ask you why you're leaving and might even offer a discount to stay. Just click through the prompts until you get a confirmation.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your RTL Plus Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few things to try:
- Check where you subscribed. If you signed up on your iPhone, you must cancel through Apple. If you signed up on the website, you must cancel there. They can't process cancellations for third-party billing.
- Use a computer. Some services make it intentionally difficult to cancel on a mobile browser. Try logging in on a desktop or laptop, as the full website might have different options.
- Clear your browser cache. Sometimes old data can cause issues with website functions. Clear your cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private browser window.
- Contact support directly. If all else fails, find the 'Contact Us' or 'Help' section on their website. You may have to submit a support ticket to have them cancel it for you manually. It's slower, but it gets the job done.
