So, you've binged all the Nordic Noir you can handle and now it's time to cancel Via Play. Launched in 2011, this streaming service brought a ton of Scandinavian crime dramas and movies to the US. Maybe you signed up just for a specific show like Trom and now the $5.99 monthly fee feels a bit much. It happens. This guide covers how to cancel on desktop, iOS, and Android, helping you save up to $72 a year. Let's get this done so you don't get hit with another charge you weren't expecting.
How to Cancel Via Play Subscription on Desktop
Canceling on a computer is probably the most direct way. I tried it, and while it's straightforward, you do have to click through a couple of 'Are you sure?' screens. Just stick with it.
1 Log In to Your Account
Go to the Via Play website and sign in with your email and password. Simple enough.
2 Go to 'My Account'
Click on your name or profile icon, usually in the top-right corner, and select My Account from the dropdown menu.
3 Find Your Subscription
On the account page, look for a section called 'Package' or something similar. This is where your subscription details are hiding.
4 Click 'Cancel Package'
You'll see a button or link that says Cancel Package. Click it. This is the point of no return.
5 Confirm the Cancellation
They'll probably ask you why you're leaving and might offer you a deal to stay. Just ignore it and follow the final steps to confirm. You should get an email confirming the cancellation almost immediately.
How to Cancel Via Play Subscription on iOS
If you signed up through the App Store, you have to cancel it there. Don't even bother with the Via Play app or website, it won't work. Apple handles the billing, so you deal with Apple.
1 Open Your iPhone Settings
Go to the main Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. The gray gear icon.
2 Tap Your Apple ID
Tap on your name and profile picture right at the top of the Settings screen.
3 Go to 'Subscriptions'
Find and tap on Subscriptions. It'll show you all your active and expired app subscriptions.
4 Select Via Play
Scroll through the list until you find Via Play and tap on it.
5 Tap 'Cancel Subscription'
Hit the red Cancel Subscription button. You'll need to confirm it, and then you're done. The subscription will now show an 'Expires on' date.
How to Cancel Via Play Subscription on Android
Similar to iOS, if you subscribed through the Google Play Store, that's where you need to go to cancel. The Via Play app itself won't have the cancellation option.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find and open the Play Store app on your Android device.
2 Access Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Go to 'Payments & subscriptions'
From the menu that pops up, select Payments & subscriptions.
4 Tap 'Subscriptions'
You'll see a list of all your subscriptions managed by Google Play. Tap on Subscriptions.
5 Find and Cancel Via Play
Locate Via Play in the list, tap on it, and then select Cancel subscription. Follow any final prompts to confirm.
Cancel Via Play Subscription with Email
If you're having trouble, you can use their online contact form. Go to the Via Play help center, find the 'Contact Us' button, and fill out the form. It's basically sending an email. Don't expect an instant reply, it could take a day or two. Be clear that you want to cancel and include your account email.
First, the bad news. Via Play, like most streaming services, won't give you a refund if you cancel after your renewal date. Super annoying, but that's the policy. Your access will continue until the end of your current billing period, so you can finish that last episode. Your account isn't deleted, just deactivated, so your watch history might still be there if you decide to come back later. There's no option to just pause the subscription, you either pay or you cancel.
