Shahid, launched back in 2008, is the biggest name in Arabic streaming. Maybe you signed up to watch a big Ramadan series like 'Al Hashasheen' and now it's over. It happens to the best of us. With subscription prices ranging from $8.99 to $17.99 on platforms like iOS, Android, and desktop, it's easy to let a subscription run. Canceling it can save you up to $215 a year. This guide helps you get it done without the headache.
How to Cancel Shahid Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on a computer is your best bet, but you have to do it through their website. Weirdly, I found the page timed out once, so I had to reload and start over. Just a heads-up.
1 Log Into Your Account
Go to the official Shahid website and log into your account. This part is straightforward.
2 Find Your Account Settings
Click your profile icon, which is usually in the top-right corner. A menu will pop up. Find and click on 'My Account' or 'Account Settings'.
3 Navigate to Subscription Management
This is where they sometimes try to hide it. Look for a section called 'Subscription Management' or 'My Subscriptions'. I had to hunt for it for a minute; it wasn't obvious.
4 Click the Cancel Button
You'll see your current plan details. Somewhere nearby, there will be a link or button that says 'Cancel Subscription'. Click it. It might be less prominent than the button to keep your plan.
5 Confirm the Cancellation
Shahid will likely ask if you're really sure you want to leave, maybe with a pop-up or two. You might have to give a reason. Just keep clicking confirm until you get a final success message.
How to Cancel Shahid Subscription on iOS
If you subscribed using your Apple ID, you must cancel through Apple's system. You can't do it from the Shahid website or app, which is a common point of confusion.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Do not open the Shahid app to cancel. It won't work. Instead, open the main 'Settings' app on your iPhone or iPad.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and Apple ID are right at the top of the Settings screen. Tap on it to access your account.
3 Go to Subscriptions
In the list of options, find and tap on 'Subscriptions'. This is where Apple keeps track of all your app-based subscriptions.
4 Find and Cancel Shahid
Scroll through the list to find Shahid. Tap it, and you'll see the 'Cancel Subscription' button. Hit that, confirm, and you're done. Apple will handle the rest.
How to Cancel Shahid Subscription on Android
Similar to Apple, if you signed up via the Google Play Store, that's the only place you can cancel. Don't waste time looking for a cancel button in the actual Shahid app.
1 Open the Google Play Store
First, open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Go to Your Profile Menu
Tap on your profile picture or initial in the top-right corner to open the main menu.
3 Select Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu, select 'Payments & subscriptions'. It's where Google manages all your recurring charges.
4 Tap on Subscriptions
Tap on 'Subscriptions' to see a list of all your active subscriptions through the Play Store.
5 Find Shahid and Cancel
Find Shahid in the list, tap on it, and then select the 'Cancel subscription' option at the bottom. Follow the on-screen instructions to finalize it.
Cancel Shahid Subscription with email
You can email their support team at [email protected]. Don't expect a quick fix. It usually takes a day or two to get a response. Make your subject line clear, like 'Cancellation Help for account [your email address]' to speed things up.
Cancel Shahid Subscription with live chat
Shahid has a Help Center on their website. You can submit a request through their contact form. It's not exactly a 'live' chat, but a support ticket system. Be prepared to wait for an email response.
Before you cancel, know this. Shahid won't delete your account, you just lose access to paid content once your current billing cycle ends. Looking for a refund? Forget it. Like most streaming services, they have a strict no-refund policy, even if you forgot to cancel. It's annoying, but standard. There is also no option to 'pause' your subscription, you have to fully cancel and resubscribe later.
