How To Cancel A Subscription On Google Play Store

Google Play Store is the biggest application market available online for Android user base. It is among those few apps that comes preinstalled on your Android. With myriads of applications and e-books, Google Play Store is also one of the top launched applications on your Android. Apart from the free apps, there’re many apps that provide you with some out of the way services and charge some amount against it. Where some apps charge you once in for all, some apps charge you monthly or quarterly based on the plans they are offering. These scheduled payments make a subscription.

When you decide to switch the app, or wish to stop using it, uninstalling that app doesn’t stop your credit card from being charged on its schedule. The payment would be debited automatically based on the plan you had taken while signing up for that app. To stop making any further payment towards that app, you must cancel your subscription on Google Play Store. Today, we’re going to suggest you the ways you can cancel a subscription on different machines:

Cancel Google Play Subscription on Android:

1. Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android.
2. Tap on the menu button on the left-hand side top corner and select Subscription from the list of menu.
3. Now select the subscription that you want to cancel.
4. Tap the Cancel subscription and follow the screen based instructions.

Cancel Google Play Subscription on iPhone and iPad:

2. Redirect to play.google.com.
3. Click on My subscriptions from the left menu.

It is important to know that even if you cancel, you would still have access to your subscription for the remainder of time for which you would have already paid. For example, if you sign up for an app or service on Jan 1 for $20 for a year and you decide to cancel the subscription on July 1, you would still have access to your subscription till Dec 31.

Overall, cancelling a subscription on Google Play Store doesn’t require you to be a tech savvy. You may follow the above steps to cancel your subscription for any app that you don’t wish to use anymore. It is important to know that cancelling a subscription would stop future payments to be charged, but you the paid payments cannot be refunded. It is always better to cancel a subscription before the due date falls.
