TikTok, established globally in 2017, hooks you with endless scrolling but hits your wallet with LIVE subscriptions ranging from $5.99 to $24.99. You could save up to $300 yearly by cutting these ties. With the constant US ban threats and music licensing drama silencing viral trends, paying for perks feels risky. Data from the Better Business Bureau shows over 3,800 complaints in the last 3 years, mostly citing "poor customer service" and "billing glitches." Whether you use iOS, Android, or Desktop, cancelling stops the bleeding. Visit TikTok.
How to Cancel TikTok on iPhone (iOS)
If you subscribed to a creator via the iOS app, you must cancel through Apple. Deleting the app does nothing.
1 Open Settings
Tap the grey Settings gear icon on your home screen. Do not open the TikTok app itself because Apple handles the billing.
2 Tap Your Name
Click your Apple ID banner at the very top of the menu. It usually has your name and profile photo.
3 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions. If you do not see it, look under 'Media & Purchases' instead.
4 Choose TikTok
Find TikTok in the 'Active' list. If it is not there, you might have subscribed via the web or Google Play.
5 Cancel Subscription
Tap Cancel Subscription. You might have to confirm this choice. Once done, the text changes to an expiration date.
How to Cancel TikTok on Android
Android users usually pay via Google Play. Here is how to stop the auto-renewal.
1 Open Google Play Store
Launch the Play Store app. Do not try to do this inside the TikTok settings menu as it often redirects you here anyway.
2 Tap Profile Icon
Click your profile picture in the top right corner of the search bar.
3 Payments & Subscriptions
Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu list.
4 Select Subscriptions
Tap Subscriptions to view your active recurring charges.
5 Cancel TikTok
Tap on TikTok and select Cancel subscription. Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
How to Cancel TikTok on Desktop
If you used a credit card directly on the website to avoid app store fees, you must cancel here.
1 Log In
Go to the TikTok website and log into your account.
2 Go to Profile
Hover over your profile picture in the top right corner and click Settings.
3 Find LIVE Subscriptions
Look for the LIVE Subscriptions tab on the left sidebar menu.
4 Manage Subscription
Click the three dots next to the creator you want to unsubscribe from.
5 Confirm Cancellation
Select Cancel Auto-Renewal. The site might ask you why. Just skip or select a reason to finalize it.
What is TikTok Cancellation Policy
TikTok generally does not offer refunds. Period. When you cancel a LIVE subscription, you retain access to the creator's emotes and badges until the end of the billing cycle you already paid for. According to their terms, payments for Coins and subscriptions are final. Users on Pissed Consumer frequently complain that even accidental purchases are rarely refunded by support. You have to cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date to avoid getting hit with another charge.
Before You Cancel TikTok: What You Should Know
Consider these points before you cut the cord:
- Loss of Streaks: You will lose your subscriber tenure streak with the creator.
- Badge Removal: Your subscriber badge disappears once the cycle ends.
- No Coin Refunds: Any unused Coins in your wallet stay there. You cannot cash them out back to your bank.
- Chat Privileges: You lose access to sub-only chats.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your TikTok Subscription?
Struggling to find the button? Try these fixes:
- Check the Platform: If you subscribed on iPhone, you cannot cancel on Android. You must use the original device type.
- Use a Browser: The mobile app settings are often a maze. Log in on a desktop browser to see a clearer view of your payments.
- Check Third Parties: Did you subscribe via a bundle or carrier deal? You might need to contact T-Mobile or Verizon directly.
- Contact Support: If all else fails, submit a ticket via the 'Report a Problem' section in the app.
