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 on iPhone (iOS)
If you signed up for Via Play through the App Store, you have to cancel it through Apple. You can't do it in the Via Play app itself, which is a little annoying.
1 Open Your Settings
First, find and tap the gray Settings icon on your iPhone's home screen. It's the one with the gears.
2 Access Your Apple ID
At the very top of the Settings screen, tap on your name and profile picture to go into your Apple ID settings.
3 Navigate to 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 Select Via Play
Scroll through the list until you find Via Play. Tap on it to open the subscription details.
5 Cancel the Subscription
Tap the red Cancel Subscription button at the bottom. You'll need to confirm your choice. Your access will continue until the end of the current billing cycle.
How to Cancel Via Play on Android
Cancelling on Android is done through the Google Play Store, not the Via Play app. It's a common setup for apps on the platform.
1 Open the Google Play Store
Find the Google Play Store app on your Android device and open it.
2 Go to Your Profile
Tap on your profile icon or initial in the top-right corner of the screen.
3 Select Payments & Subscriptions
From the menu that appears, tap on Payments & subscriptions. This is where Google keeps all your recurring charges.
4 Manage Your Subscriptions
Next, tap on Subscriptions. You'll see a list of all services you're subscribed to through Google Play.
5 Find and Cancel Via Play
Locate Via Play in the list and tap on it. Then, tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. It might ask you for a reason, but you can skip it.
How to Cancel Via Play on Desktop or Laptop
This is the most direct way to cancel if you signed up on their website. If you subscribed through an app store, you must use the methods above instead.
1 Visit the Via Play Website
Open your web browser and go to the official Via Play website. This method is usually the most reliable.
2 Log In to Your Account
Click the log-in button and enter your email and password to access your account.
3 Navigate to Account Settings
Once logged in, find your name or profile icon, usually in the top-right corner. Click on it and select My Account or a similar option from the dropdown menu.
4 Find Your Subscription Details
Look for a section called Package or Manage Subscription. This is where they often hide the cancellation options. Honestly, I had to click around a bit to find it the first time.
5 Confirm Cancellation
Click the button to Cancel Package or End Subscription. They will likely show you an offer to try and keep you as a customer. Just proceed with the cancellation and look for a confirmation message on the screen or in your email.
Having Trouble Cancelling Your Via Play Subscription?
It can be frustrating when you can't find the cancel button. Here are a few things to try:
- Check Third-Party Billing: Did you sign up through Apple, Google Play, or maybe even your TV provider? If so, you must cancel through that specific service, not on the Via Play website.
- Try a Different Device: Sometimes the mobile site is buggy. Try logging in on a desktop or laptop computer. This solves the problem more often than you'd think.
- Clear Your Browser Cache: Old data can sometimes cause issues. Clear your browser's cache and cookies or try using an incognito/private window to log in and cancel.
- Contact Support Directly: If nothing else works, you'll have to contact their customer support. Use their website's contact form and be clear that you want to cancel your subscription immediately.
