Paramount+, the streaming service that evolved from CBS All Access in 2021, is home to everything from NFL games to shows like 'Star Trek: Discovery' and 'Yellowstone' spinoffs. But maybe you're done with the new 'Knuckles' series or you only signed up for the Super Bowl and now you're getting charged. With plans ranging from $5.99 to $11.99, those charges add up. This guide covers canceling on desktop, iOS, and Android, helping you save up to $144 a year and avoid those surprise fees. Let's get it done.
How to Cancel Paramount Plus on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Paramount Plus through the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, you have to cancel it through Apple. Trying to cancel in the Paramount Plus app will just send you in circles.
1 Open the Settings App
Find and tap the gray gear icon for Settings on your iPhone's home screen. This is where all Apple-level subscriptions are managed, not in the Paramount Plus app itself.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Your name and profile picture are at the very top of the Settings screen. 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 Paramount Plus
Scroll through the list to find Paramount Plus. Tap on it, and then select the Cancel Subscription button. You'll have to confirm your choice, but that's it. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing period.
How to Cancel Paramount Plus on Android
For Android users who subscribed via the Google Play Store, your billing is handled directly by Google. You'll need to cancel it there.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. Don't go to the Paramount Plus app, as the subscription is managed by Google.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Navigate to Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, select Payments & subscriptions. This will take you to a new screen where you manage all your Google Play billing.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all services you're subscribed to through Google Play.
5 Cancel Paramount Plus
Find Paramount Plus in the list and tap on it. Then, tap Cancel subscription at the bottom and follow the on-screen instructions to confirm. It's a bit buried, but it's there.
How to Cancel Paramount Plus on Desktop or Laptop
This method is for users who signed up directly on the Paramount Plus website, not through a third party like Apple, Google, or Roku.
1 Visit the Paramount Plus Website
Open your web browser and go to the official Paramount Plus website. Click Sign In in the top-right corner and enter your credentials.
2 Go to Your Account Settings
Once logged in, hover over your profile name or icon in the top-right corner. A dropdown menu will appear. Click on Account.
3 Find the Subscription Section
On the Account page, scroll down until you see the Subscription & Billing section. This is where your plan details are located.
4 Initiate the Cancellation
Under your current plan details, you should see a link that says Cancel Subscription. Click it. Honestly, I had to click it twice before the next page loaded.
5 Confirm Cancellation
Paramount Plus will likely present you with an offer to stay. You'll need to decline the offer and confirm that you want to proceed with the cancellation. Keep clicking until you get a confirmation message.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Paramount Plus Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few things to check:
- Did you subscribe through a third party? This is the most common issue. If you signed up through Amazon Prime Video Channels, Roku, Apple, or Google Play, you MUST cancel through that specific service. The Paramount Plus website won't show a cancel option.
- Try a different device. Sometimes the mobile app or website is buggy. Log in on a desktop or laptop computer, as the full website often has more reliable account management options.
- Clear your browser cache. Old data can sometimes cause display issues. Clear your cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private browser window to log in and cancel.
- Contact support directly. If all else fails, you may have to contact their customer support. Be prepared for a wait, but they can manually cancel the subscription for you if you're persistent.
