Use this The New Yorker check to choose between an official account action and help preparing a clearer follow-up.

  1. Confirm the billing owner before canceling

    • Cancel The New Yorker through the platform that bills you: use Apple or Google Play subscription settings if the charge is billed by those stores, and use The New Yorker’s own cancellation process if it appears directly on your card or bank statement. On iOS, open Settings > your name > Subscriptions, tap The New Yorker, and tap Cancel Subscription. On Android, open subscriptions in Google Play, select The New Yorker, and tap Cancel subscription. Cancelling stops future auto‑renewal; you generally keep digital access until the end of the current paid period, and refunds are handled under Apple or Google Play refund policies, not guaranteed by default. Cancelling an in‑app subscription does not automatically cancel any separate print‑only subscription you bought directly from The New Yorker. The New Yorker subscriptions can be billed either by a platform (Apple App Store or Google Play) or directly by The New Yorker/Condé Nast or another third party. If your email receipt says it is from Apple and the charge appears as an Apple media charge, Apple is the billing owner and you must cancel through your Apple ID subscriptions. If your receipt and bank statement show Google Play and the subscription appears under Subscriptions in Google Play, Google is the billing owner and you must cancel there. If you cannot find a New Yorker subscription under Apple or Google subscriptions and your card statement lists The New Yorker, Condé Nast, or another intermediary, that company is the billing owner and you must follow its own cancellation instructions (for example on its website or customer‑care portal). Cancelling through Apple or Google only affects the subscription sold through that store and does not by itself cancel any separate print or direct‑publisher subscription.
    • Use the billing owner shown on your The New Yorker receipt or account before following a cancellation path. After submitting it, reopen the same account and record the status and effective date that are actually displayed.
    • Refunds for The New Yorker depend entirely on who billed you and on Apple, Google, card‑network, and publisher policies; cancelling usually stops future renewals but does not automatically refund what you’ve already paid.
  2. Keep enough proof for a focused follow-up

    • Save the confirmation, effective date, and billing receipt.
    • Capture the plan, renewal date, and company shown on the receipt.
    • Challenge only a specific unresolved charge or cancellation result.

The New Yorker FAQs

Short answers for the questions people usually ask before starting.

To cancel The New Yorker on iPhone when Apple is billing you, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose The New Yorker, and tap Cancel Subscription. This turns off auto‑renew through your Apple media account. You keep digital access until the end of the current paid period, after which Apple stops billing unless you resubscribe.
To cancel a Google Play–billed New Yorker subscription, open the subscriptions page in Google Play on your Android device, select The New Yorker, and tap Cancel subscription. Google Play marks the subscription to expire at the end of the current billing period and stops future renewals. You can still read The New Yorker until that paid‑through date.
After you cancel an Apple- or Google‑billed New Yorker subscription, you typically retain digital access until the end of the current billing period, then your unlimited app and website access stop. Offline issues you’ve already downloaded may remain temporarily but you won’t be able to fetch new ones. Any separate print subscription you hold continues until you cancel it with the print billing owner.
You may not automatically get a refund if you forget to cancel a New Yorker subscription. Apple and Google generally treat cancellation as stopping future renewals while letting you use the remaining term, and refunds are granted only under their refund policies. For direct‑billed subscriptions, you must rely on The New Yorker’s own terms. If you believe charges were unfair, you can dispute them with your card issuer and report concerns to the FTC.
You know a New Yorker subscription is cancelled when your billing platform shows it as expired or ending on a specific date with no Cancel option. In Apple’s Subscriptions screen, The New Yorker should move out of Active or show an expiration message instead of a Cancel button. In Google Play, the subscription status will indicate an end date and no longer list future renewals.
If you don’t see The New Yorker under Apple or Google subscriptions, those platforms probably are not billing you for it. Apple advises that if no Apple receipt exists, you likely bought the subscription from another company and must cancel with that company. Check your card or bank statement for the billing name, then follow that provider’s cancellation instructions or contact its customer service.
If you can’t cancel The New Yorker, first ensure you’re looking in the right account and platform by checking your receipts and subscription lists. If Apple or Google still shows active billing but cancellation fails, contact their support channels and provide screenshots. If you’re billed directly by The New Yorker and cannot get the subscription stopped, escalate to your card issuer and consider reporting the problem to the FTC.
No, cancelling a New Yorker subscription in Apple or Google Play only stops that specific digital subscription from renewing. Any separate print‑only or directly billed subscription you purchased from The New Yorker or another seller keeps running and will continue to bill you until you cancel it with that billing owner. Always review your statements to ensure all unwanted subscriptions are ended.
