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 on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to Shahid through the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you have to cancel it through Apple's system. It's a bit buried in the settings, but straightforward once you know where to look.
1 Open the Settings App
First, find and tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone's home screen. Don't look in the Shahid app itself, the subscription is managed by Apple.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
At the very top of the Settings screen, you'll see your name and profile picture. Tap on this banner to access your Apple ID settings.
3 Go to 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 Select Shahid
Scroll through the list until you find the Shahid subscription. Tap on it to open the management screen.
5 Cancel the Subscription
Tap the red Cancel Subscription button at the bottom of the screen. You'll be asked to confirm your choice. Once you do, the subscription is set to cancel at the end of the current billing cycle. You won't be charged again.
How to Cancel Shahid on Android
For Android users, cancellation is handled through the Google Play Store. You can't cancel from within the Shahid app itself, which is a common point of confusion.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find the Google Play Store app on your Android device and open it. This is where Google manages all your app subscriptions.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen. This will open a menu with several options.
3 Navigate to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu, select Payments & subscriptions. This section holds all your purchase history and active subscriptions.

5 Find and Cancel Shahid
Locate Shahid in the list and tap on it. On the next screen, tap the Cancel subscription button and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. It's that simple, but sometimes the app list takes a second to load.
How to Cancel Shahid on Desktop or Laptop
This method works if you subscribed directly on the Shahid website. If you subscribed through a mobile app, you must use the steps for that specific platform instead.
1 Go to the Shahid Website
Open your web browser and navigate to the official Shahid website. Make sure you're on the correct site, shahid.mbc.net.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the Login button, usually in the top-right corner, and enter your credentials. If you signed up with a social account like Facebook or Google, use that option.
3 Access Account Settings
Once logged in, click on your profile icon or name to open the account menu. From there, select My Account Settings or a similar option. Honestly, finding this can be the hardest part.
4 Manage Your Subscription
In the account settings, look for a section called Subscription Management or My Subscriptions. Click on it to view your current plan details.
5 Cancel Your Subscription
You should see an option to Cancel Subscription or Unsubscribe. Click this button and follow any confirmation steps. They might offer you a discount to stay, so be prepared to click past that.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Shahid Subscription?
It can be frustrating when cancellation doesn't go smoothly. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Your Billing Source: Did you sign up through Apple, Google, or directly on their website? You MUST cancel through the same platform you used to subscribe. This is the most common issue people run into.
- Try a Different Device: If the website is giving you trouble on your phone, try logging in from a desktop computer. Sometimes the mobile site is buggy.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data can cause weird glitches. 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, you'll have to contact their customer support. Be prepared with your account information and be persistent. It might take a while to get a response.
