So, you signed up for Binge to watch House of the Dragon and now it's just... there. It happens. Launched in 2020, Binge is a popular Australian streaming service, but if you're not using it, that monthly fee feels like a waste. With subscription prices ranging from about $7 to $22, you can save up to $265 a year by cutting it loose. This guide will show you exactly how to cancel your Binge subscription on desktop, iOS, and Android, so you can stop the charges without any extra drama.
How to Cancel Binge on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Binge through the Apple App Store, you have to cancel it there. Deleting the app won't do anything, which is a classic mistake.
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 media settings.
3 Select Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions tied to your Apple account.
4 Find and Cancel Binge
Scroll through the list to find Binge. Tap on it, then select the Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel Binge on Android
Cancelling on Android is managed through the Google Play Store, not the Binge app itself. It's a common point of confusion.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. It's the primary place for managing app-based subscriptions.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. Then, tap on Subscriptions to see all services you're paying for through Google Play.
4 Locate and Cancel Binge
Find Binge in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it. Follow the prompts to Cancel subscription. It's pretty straightforward, but make sure you get to the final confirmation screen.
How to Cancel Binge on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for users who subscribed directly on the Binge website, not through a third-party app store.
1 Visit the Binge Website and Log In
Open your web browser and go to the official Binge website. Enter your credentials to log in to your account.
2 Find Your Account Settings
Once logged in, look for your profile icon or name, typically in the top-right corner. Click on it and select My Account, Settings, or a similar option from the dropdown menu.
3 Locate the Subscription Section
Inside your account settings, find a tab or link labeled Subscription or Manage Subscription. This is where they hide the important stuff. You might have to hunt for it a bit.
4 Cancel Your Subscription
Click the Cancel Subscription button or link. Binge will likely ask you for a reason and might present you with an offer to stay. Decline the offer and proceed with the cancellation until you see a confirmation message.
Cancel by Live Chat
If the online cancellation process fails or you can't find the button, you can try contacting their support team via live chat.
- Go to the Binge Help Center on their website.
- Look for the Live Chat option (usually available during business hours).
- Be prepared to provide your account details and state clearly that you want to cancel.
Honestly, this can be slow. I once waited 15 minutes just to connect with an agent for a different service, so only use this as a last resort.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- Access Until End of Cycle: After you cancel, you can continue watching Binge until the end of your current billing period. So, no need to wait until the last day.
- No Refunds for Partial Months: Binge does not offer prorated refunds if you cancel mid-cycle. You've paid for the full month, and that's that.
- Your Watch History: Your viewing history and preferences are typically saved for a few months. If you decide to resubscribe later, you might be able to pick up where you left off.
- Pausing Isn't an Option: Unfortunately, Binge doesn't currently offer a way to pause your subscription. You either have it or you don't.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Binge Subscription?
It happens. Sometimes the cancel button seems to disappear. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Your Biller: Are you sure you subscribed directly? If you signed up through Apple, Google Play, or even your cable provider, you must cancel through them. Binge can't cancel it for you.
- Try a Different Device: If the mobile site is acting up, try cancelling from a desktop computer. Weirdly, this often solves the problem.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Sometimes old data can cause issues. Clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: If all else fails, it's time to contact their customer support. It might be a pain, but it's better than getting charged again.
