So, you're ready to cancel WatchIT. Maybe you binged that one show, 'Cybernetic Echoes', and now you're done. It happens. Founded in 2018, WatchIT quickly became a go-to for exclusive sci-fi content, but keeping track of subscriptions is a pain. This guide will help you cancel your plan without any headaches. With plans ranging from $7.99 to $17.99, you can save up to $215 a year by cutting this service. We'll cover how to cancel on your desktop, iOS, and Android devices.
How to Cancel WatchIT Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on your computer is probably the most straightforward way. You won't have to deal with app store settings. Just be ready for a couple of extra clicks designed to make you stay. Weirdly, this method worked perfectly on a desktop browser but was buggy on my phone's browser.
1 Log Into Your Account
First, head over to the WatchIT website and log into your account. This seems obvious, but sometimes you get logged out automatically.
2 Navigate to Account Settings
Find your profile icon, it's usually in the top-right corner. Click on it and look for a dropdown menu. Select 'Account Settings' or 'My Account'.
3 Find Your Subscription Details
This is where it gets a little tricky. They don't make it obvious. You need to find the 'Subscription' or 'Billing' section. I had to scroll past a few promotional banners to even see it.
4 Select the Cancel Option
You should see your current plan details here. Look for a link or button that says 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Manage Plan'. Click it. Be prepared for them to offer you a discount to stay. Just ignore it if you're set on canceling.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Follow the final on-screen prompts to confirm the cancellation. They'll ask for a reason. You don't have to give one. Once you're done, you should see a confirmation message on the screen. Make sure you get a confirmation email, too.
How to Cancel WatchIT Subscription on iOS
If you signed up through the App Store, you have to cancel it there. WatchIT can't cancel it for you, which is a common point of confusion. It's managed entirely by Apple.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
On your iPhone or iPad, open the Settings app. It's the gray gear icon.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and Apple ID at the very top of the screen.
3 Go to Subscriptions
Find and tap on the 'Subscriptions' option. You'll see a list of all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Find the WatchIT Subscription
Scroll through the list until you find WatchIT. Tap on it.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
At the bottom of the page, you'll see a red 'Cancel Subscription' button. Tap it and confirm your choice. That's it. Apple handles it from here.
How to Cancel WatchIT Subscription on Android
Just like with iPhones, if you subscribed through the Google Play Store, that's where you need to end it. The app itself won't have a cancellation button.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Tap Your Profile Icon
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Select 'Payments & subscriptions'
In the menu that pops up, select 'Payments & subscriptions'.
4 Tap 'Subscriptions'
Next, tap on 'Subscriptions'. This will show you all the subscriptions linked to your Google account.
5 Find WatchIT and Cancel
Find WatchIT in the list and tap on it. Then, at the bottom, tap 'Cancel subscription' and follow the prompts to confirm. Simple enough.
Cancel WatchIT Subscription with Live Chat
WatchIT offers a live chat for support, but it can be slow. Expect to wait a few minutes for an agent. You can usually find the chat bubble on their Help Center page. A user on a forum said, 'The chat bot made me answer five questions before I could even talk to a person.' So, be patient.
Before you cancel, know this. WatchIT does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel a day after your billing date, you've paid for the whole month, but you can keep watching until the cycle ends. They also might keep your viewing history and profile for a while in case you decide to come back. There is no option to pause your subscription, which is a bummer.
