Audible, an Amazon company founded back in 1995, is the go-to for audiobooks and podcasts. Maybe you signed up just to listen to the ACOTAR series after seeing it all over TikTok, and now you're done. It happens. With plans ranging from $7.95 to $14.95 a month, the costs can add up, especially if you're not listening. Canceling your subscription can save you up to $180 a year. This guide will walk you through canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android, so you can stop the charges without losing the books you already paid for.
How to Cancel Audible on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Audible through the App Store on your iPhone, you have to cancel it through Apple. It's a bit of a roundabout process, but these steps will get it done.
1 Open the Settings App
You can't cancel inside the Audible app itself, which is a common frustration. Instead, you need to go through your Apple Subscriptions. Tap the Settings icon on your home screen.
2 Access Your Apple ID
Tap your name and profile picture at the very top of the Settings menu to open your Apple ID, iCloud, Media & Purchases settings.
3 Navigate to Subscriptions
On the Apple ID screen, tap on Subscriptions. This will show you a list of all your active and expired subscriptions managed through your Apple account.
4 Find and Select Audible
Scroll through the list until you find the Audible subscription. Tap on it to see the details and renewal options.
5 Cancel the Subscription
At the bottom of the screen, you'll see a Cancel Subscription button. Tap it and confirm your choice. Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Audible on Android
Cancelling on Android is usually done through the Google Play Store if that's how you initially subscribed. If you can't find it there, you likely subscribed directly on the Audible website and should use the desktop method instead.
1 Open the Google Play Store
First, open the Google Play Store app. Make sure you're signed into the Google account you used to subscribe to Audible.
2 Go to Your Subscriptions
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner. From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions.
3 Select 'Subscriptions'
In the next menu, tap on Subscriptions. This will display all the services you're currently subscribed to via Google Play.
4 Find and Cancel Audible
Locate Audible in your list of active subscriptions and tap on it. You'll see an option to Cancel subscription. Tap it and follow the prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel Audible on Desktop or Laptop
This is often the easiest and most direct way to cancel your Audible membership, regardless of how you signed up. It avoids any confusion with app store billing.
1 Visit the Audible Website
Open your web browser and go to the Audible website. Log in to your account if you aren't already signed in.
2 Navigate to Account Details
Hover over your name at the top of the page, where it says "Hi, [Your Name]!". A dropdown menu will appear. Click on Account Details.
3 Find Your Membership Information
On the Account Details page, you'll see a section with your current membership information. It's usually in a box near the top.
4 Click 'Cancel Membership'
Below your membership details, there is a link that says Cancel membership. Click this to start the cancellation process. Honestly, this is the most reliable way to cancel.
5 Follow the Cancellation Steps
Audible will present you with a few pages trying to convince you to stay. They might offer a discount or a different plan. Keep clicking the button to continue with the cancellation until you receive a final confirmation.
Cancel Audible by Phone or Live Chat
If you're stuck or the website isn't working, you can contact Audible's customer service directly. It's not the fastest way, but it works.
- Phone: You can call Audible's customer service at 1 (888) 283-5051, available 24/7.
- Live Chat: Visit the Audible Contact Us page to start a live chat with a support agent. Be prepared for a potential wait.
Before You Cancel: What You Should Know
Before you hit that cancel button, there are a couple of things to keep in mind so you don't lose out.
- Use Your Credits: This is the big one. You will lose any unused credits the moment your membership ends. Make sure to spend them on audiobooks you want to keep before you cancel.
- You Keep Your Books: Any audiobook you purchased with a credit or cash is yours to keep forever. Your library will remain accessible even without an active membership.
- Consider Pausing: If you just need a break, Audible allows you to pause your membership for up to 3 months. During the pause, you won't be charged, but you can still use your existing credits.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Audible Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few common issues and how to solve them:
- Can't Find the Cancel Option: If you don't see a "Cancel membership" option on the website, it almost always means you subscribed through a third party. Check your Apple Subscriptions (on iPhone) or Google Play Subscriptions (on Android).
- Website Glitches: Sometimes web pages just don't cooperate. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or open an incognito/private window and log in again. This solves a surprising number of problems.
- Stuck in a Loop: If the cancellation pages seem to go in circles, just contact customer support directly. A real person can process the cancellation for you and bypass any website bugs.
