How to Cancel Any Subscription on iPhone or iPad (2026)
Cancel any App Store subscription on iPhone or iPad from one central location. Works for Netflix, Spotify, Apple TV+, Duolingo and every iOS app.
If you subscribed to an app via the App Store on your iPhone or iPad, Apple provides one central location to manage and cancel all your subscriptions. Here's exactly how to find it.
How to Find All Your iPhone Subscriptions
Open the Settings app on your iPhone. Tap your name at the very top (your Apple ID). Tap "Subscriptions". You will now see a complete list of all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID. Tap any subscription to manage or cancel it.
How to Cancel a Specific Subscription on iPhone
From the Subscriptions screen: Tap the subscription you want to cancel. Review the subscription details shown — billing frequency, price and renewal date. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen. Tap "Confirm" in the dialogue box. You'll receive an email confirmation from Apple. Your access continues until the end of the current paid period.
What If You Don't See the App in Subscriptions?
If an app doesn't appear in your Apple Subscriptions, it means you did NOT subscribe through Apple. You subscribed directly through the company's website. In this case, go to the service's website directly (e.g., netflix.com, spotify.com) and cancel from your account settings there. The Apple Subscriptions page only shows subscriptions billed by Apple.
Cancel Subscriptions via the App Store
Alternative method: Open the App Store app. Tap your profile photo in the top-right corner. Tap "Subscriptions". The same subscription management screen appears. Tap the subscription → Cancel Subscription → Confirm.
Apple TV App Subscriptions (Add-On Channels)
If you subscribed to a streaming channel through the Apple TV app (e.g., Showtime, Paramount+, Starz as "channels"), these appear in your Subscriptions list. Cancel them there — cancelling is done via Apple, not the streaming service itself.
