Architectural Digest, founded way back in 1920, is the go-to for stunning interior design and celebrity home tours. You know, like that unforgettable tour of Dakota Johnson's green kitchen that basically took over the internet for a week. Subscriptions range from about $10 to $30, and this guide covers canceling on their website. Let's be real, sometimes you sign up for the inspiration and then forget about it. Canceling can save you up to $30 a year, so let's get it done and avoid that surprise renewal charge.

How to Cancel Architectural Digest on Android
For Android users who signed up via the Google Play Store, cancellation is handled within the app's settings. Here’s how to get it done.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the icon that looks like a colorful sideways triangle.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial 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.

In the next menu, tap on Subscriptions to see a list of all services you're subscribed to through Google Play.
5 Find and Cancel Architectural Digest
Locate Architectural Digest in the list and tap on it. Then, tap the Cancel subscription button and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Honestly, I had to tap it twice before it registered.
How to Cancel Architectural Digest on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for subscriptions made directly on the Architectural Digest or Condé Nast website, which is common for print and digital bundles.
1 Visit the Architectural Digest Website
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Architectural Digest customer service or account management page. A quick search for 'Architectural Digest manage subscription' should get you there.
2 Log In to Your Account
Enter the email address and password associated with your subscription. If you can't remember your password, use the 'Forgot Password' link to reset it.
3 Navigate to Your Account Settings
Once logged in, look for a section named My Account, Manage Subscription, or Account Details. This is often hidden in a dropdown menu under your name.
4 Find the Cancellation Option
Within your account settings, search for a link or button that says Cancel Subscription or Manage Auto-Renewal. They don't always make this easy to find, so you might have to click around a bit.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
Follow the final prompts to confirm that you want to end your subscription. Make sure you receive a confirmation message on the screen or an email verifying the cancellation.
Cancel Architectural Digest by Phone or Email
If navigating the website feels like a maze, sometimes just contacting a human is easier.
Cancel by Phone:
- Call customer service at 1-800-365-8032.
- Hours are typically Monday through Friday, 8 AM to 5 PM CST.
- Have your account number or mailing address ready. Be prepared for them to try to convince you to stay with a special offer.
Cancel by Email:
- Send an email to [email protected].
- Include your full name, mailing address, and account number in the email. Clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription.
- Response times can vary, so this isn't the best option if your renewal date is just a day or two away.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Refunds: Condé Nast, the publisher, generally does not offer prorated refunds. If you cancel, you'll typically retain access until the end of your paid term, but you won't get money back for the unused portion.
- Print vs. Digital: If you have a print subscription, you might be able to get a refund for the remaining unshipped issues by calling customer service. Digital access is usually non-refundable.
- Pausing Your Subscription: For print subscribers, you can often place a 'vacation hold' on your subscription instead of canceling. This pauses deliveries for a set period. You'll need to call customer service to arrange this.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Architectural Digest Subscription?
Feeling stuck? It happens. Here are a few things to try if the cancellation process isn't working:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you subscribe through Amazon, Apple, or Google Play? If so, you must cancel through that specific service. Architectural Digest's website can't cancel a subscription managed by Apple, for example.
- Try a Different Device: Sometimes, the cancellation feature is buggy on mobile browsers. Try logging in from a desktop or laptop computer.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data stored in your browser can sometimes cause issues. Clear your cache and cookies, or try using an incognito/private browsing window.
- Contact Support Directly: If you're going in circles online, just call them. The phone number is 1-800-365-8032. It might be the quickest way to cut through the frustration and get it done.
