So, you've decided to cancel your ALTBalaji subscription. Maybe you binged all of 'Broken But Beautiful' and now you're done, or you're just tired of seeing that monthly charge. ALTBalaji, launched in 2017, offers a ton of original Hindi content, but sometimes you just have to cut back. With plans ranging from about $1.20 to $3.60, it's not expensive, but unused subscriptions add up. By canceling, you can save up to $43 a year. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android without the headache. Let's get it done.
How to Cancel ALTBalaji on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to ALTBalaji through the App Store, you have to cancel it through Apple, not the ALTBalaji app itself. It's a bit of a runaround, but here’s how to get it done.
1 Open the Settings App
First, 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 other settings.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
On the Apple ID screen, you'll see a list of options. Tap on Subscriptions. Apple buries this setting pretty deep, so don't feel bad if you couldn't find it on your own.
4 Find Your ALTBalaji Subscription
You'll see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions. Scroll through the list until you find ALTBalaji and tap on it.
5 Cancel the Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see a red 'Cancel Subscription' button. Tap it and then confirm your choice. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel ALTBalaji on Android
Canceling on Android is managed through the Google Play Store. You can't cancel it from within the ALTBalaji app.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find 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. This will open the main menu.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu that pops up, select 'Payments & subscriptions'. It's usually the third or fourth option down.
4 Select 'Subscriptions'
On the next screen, tap on 'Subscriptions'. This will show you all the services you're subscribed to through your Google account.
5 Find and Cancel ALTBalaji
Locate ALTBalaji in the list of your active subscriptions and tap on it. At the bottom of the next screen, tap 'Cancel subscription' and follow the prompts to confirm. Make sure you're logged into the correct Google account, it's a surprisingly common mistake.
How to Cancel ALTBalaji on Desktop or Laptop
If you signed up directly on their website, this is the most straightforward way to cancel. It avoids going through Apple or Google's systems.
1 Visit the ALTBalaji Website
Open your web browser and go to the official ALTBalaji website (www.altbalaji.com).
2 Log In to Your Account
In the top-right corner, click 'Sign In' and enter the email address and password associated with your account.
3 Navigate to Your Subscription Settings
Once logged in, click on the menu icon (usually three horizontal lines) or your profile icon. Look for an option like 'My Account', 'Subscription', or 'Manage Subscription' and click it. Honestly, I had to click around a bit to find this, it wasn't immediately obvious.
4 Find the Cancel Option
In your subscription details, there should be an option to 'Cancel Subscription' or 'Turn off auto-renewal'. Click this link or button.
5 Confirm Your Cancellation
The site will likely ask you to confirm that you want to cancel. Follow any final prompts to complete the process. You should receive a confirmation email shortly after.
Cancel ALTBalaji by Email
If you're struggling with the online methods, you can try emailing customer support. This is usually the slowest option, so only use it if you have to.
- Compose an email to
[email protected]
. - Use a clear subject line like 'Subscription Cancellation Request'.
- In the body of the email, include your registered email address, phone number, and any other account details you have.
- Clearly state that you wish to cancel your subscription.
Expect a response to take a few business days. Keep a copy of the email for your records.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
- No Refunds for Partial Periods: ALTBalaji does not offer refunds if you cancel partway through a billing cycle. You'll keep access to the service until your current subscription period ends.
- Your Account Remains: Canceling your subscription doesn't delete your account. Your watch history and preferences will still be there if you decide to resubscribe later.
- Check Your Billing Source: Remember where you signed up. If you subscribed via iTunes, you must cancel via iTunes. If you subscribed via their website, you must cancel there. They can't cancel a third-party subscription for you.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your ALTBalaji Subscription?
Sometimes things just don't work. If you're stuck in a cancellation loop, here are a few things to try:
- Check for Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up through your mobile carrier or another service like Amazon Prime Channels? If so, you need to cancel through that specific service, not ALTBalaji.
- Use a Desktop Computer: Mobile websites can be buggy. Try logging into your account on a laptop or desktop computer. The full website often has more reliable account management options.
- 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 to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: When all else fails, reach out to their support team at
[email protected]
. Be persistent and provide all your account details to speed up the process.
