How to Cancel Your Apple pay Subscription (2025)

Let's be clear, you don't really 'cancel' Apple Pay. It's a free service from Apple, launched in 2014, that just processes payments. What you're probably trying to do is cancel a subscription you paid for using your Apple account. Maybe you signed up for a free trial to watch the latest season of Ted Lasso and forgot about it. It happens. This guide will show you how to stop those recurring charges, which can range from $0.99 to over $99.99. We'll cover how to do it on iOS and desktop, potentially saving you up to $1200 a year on subscriptions you don't even use.

How to Cancel Subscriptions on Your iPhone or iPad (iOS)

Canceling a subscription billed through Apple is thankfully straightforward on an iPhone or iPad. Just be prepared to tap through a few menus. Here’s how to do it.

1 Open the Settings App

Find and tap the gray gear icon on your home screen. This is where the journey begins, as usual.

2 Tap Your Apple ID

At the very top of the Settings screen, you'll see your name and profile picture. Tap on it to access your Apple ID, iCloud, and other media settings.

3 Select 'Subscriptions'

On the Apple ID screen, you'll see a list of options. Tap on Subscriptions. If you don't see it, you might not have any active subscriptions tied to that Apple ID.

4 Find and Select the Subscription

You'll now see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions. Scroll through and tap the one you want to get rid of.

5 Cancel the Subscription

At the bottom of the subscription details page, tap the Cancel Subscription button. You'll be asked to confirm. Once you do, it's done. You'll typically have access until the end of the current billing period.

How to Cancel Apple Subscriptions on Android

It feels a little strange, but yes, you can manage your Apple subscriptions from an Android device. It's just not as integrated. You have to go through an app or the web.

1 Use an Apple App or a Web Browser

Unlike on an iPhone, you can't manage Apple subscriptions from your main Android settings. You must use an Apple app like Apple Music or Apple TV, or simply use a web browser.

2 Manage in the Apple Music App

If you have the Apple Music app, open it, tap the three dots in the top right, go to Account, and then find Manage Subscription. This will take you to the subscription page.

3 Use a Web Browser

The most reliable method for any device. Open Chrome or your preferred browser and go to tv.apple.com. Sign in with the Apple ID that has the subscription.

4 Navigate to Account Settings

Once logged in, click your account icon (usually in the top-right corner) and select Settings from the dropdown menu.

5 Find and Cancel

Scroll down the Settings page until you see the Subscriptions section. Click Manage. A list of your subscriptions will appear. Find the one you want to cancel and click the option to end it.

How to Cancel Apple Subscriptions on a Mac or PC

Using a computer is often the quickest way to manage subscriptions, as the larger screen makes everything easier to find. Here’s the breakdown for both Mac and PC users.

1 Open the App Store (on Mac)

On a Mac, the easiest way is through the App Store. Open it from your Dock or Applications folder.

2 Access Your Account (on Mac)

Click your name in the bottom-left corner of the App Store window. Then, at the top of the main window, click Account Settings.

3 Manage Subscriptions (on Mac)

You might need to sign in again. Scroll down until you find the Subscriptions section and click Manage next to it. From here, find the service you want to cancel, click Edit, and then Cancel Subscription.

4 Use a Web Browser (on PC or Mac)

This works for everyone. Go to tv.apple.com or music.apple.com and sign in with your Apple ID. This is the main method for PC users.

5 Find the Subscription Settings (on PC or Mac)

Click your account icon in the top-right corner and go to Settings. Scroll down to the Subscriptions heading, click Manage, and cancel the service you no longer need.

Cancel by Contacting Apple Support

If you're stuck in a loop or can't find your subscription, contacting a real person might be your best bet. While there isn't a direct number just for cancellations, you can get help through their main support portal.

  1. Go to getsupport.apple.com.
  2. Select Billing & Subscriptions.
  3. Choose Subscriptions & Purchases.
  4. Select the option that best fits your issue, like 'View, change, or cancel subscriptions'.
  5. From there, you'll be presented with options to chat or call a support representative. Be prepared with your Apple ID and the name of the subscription you want to cancel.

What to Know Before You Cancel

  • Access After Cancellation: In almost all cases, you will retain access to the service until the end of your current paid billing cycle. So, if you cancel on the 5th and your subscription renews on the 30th, you can still use it until the 30th.
  • Refunds Are Rare: Apple's policy generally does not offer refunds for subscriptions if you forget to cancel. You can try requesting one through their support page, but success is not guaranteed.
  • Data Deletion: Canceling the subscription through Apple does not automatically delete your account or data with the third-party app provider. You may need to contact the app's developer directly to request data deletion.

Having Trouble Cancelling Your Apple Pay Subscription?

It can be frustrating when things don't work as expected. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:

  • Subscription Not Listed? If you're being charged but don't see the subscription in your Apple ID, you likely signed up directly on the service's website or through another platform like Google Play. Check your email for a receipt from the service to see who is billing you.
  • No 'Cancel' Button? If you only see a 'Resubscribe' option, it means the subscription is already set to expire and will not renew. You're all set. Sometimes this happens with subscriptions included in a bundle like Apple One.
  • Login Problems: Can't remember your Apple ID password? Use the 'Forgot Password' link on the Apple sign-in page to reset it. You won't be able to cancel without logging in.
  • Try a Different Device: Weirdly, sometimes the cancellation page glitches on one device but works perfectly on another. If it fails on your iPhone, try canceling from a desktop browser.
