However, it can save you a lot of money over time. If you have an iPhone, you know it takes a while to figure out how to delete expired subscriptions.

It’s not hard once you get the hang of it, though. So let’s share some practical suggestions on deleting active and expired iPhone subscriptions in this article.

  • This will take you to a cancellation confirmation screen, where you can tap “Cancel Subscriptions” or “Restore Subscription.”

  2. Tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen, then select View Apple ID
  3. From there, select Manage Subscriptions. You’ll see a list of all your subscriptions—scroll down until you find one that has an On/Off switch at its bottom right corner and toggles it off to deactivate auto-renewal for that subscription (you can also cancel any other recurring purchases by going into each service’s page and choosing “Cancel Subscription”)

What happens when a subscription expires?

The next time you open the app, you’ll be notified that your subscription expires. This will happen two days before expiration and again on the day of it. Therefore, renewing your subscription before this happens is essential, or else you’ll lose access to your content!

To delete an app from your iPhone and Apple account, follow these steps:

  • First, touch and hold the icon of the app you want to delete until all apps shake
  • Tap on the X button in the corner of any app that is no longer available for download on your device or has been removed from the App Store by its developer, or tap that same button in any other app’s window if you’re prompted with a message asking if you want to delete it.
  • Tap Delete when prompted with “Delete App.”

Can you undo a subscription cancellation?

Unfortunately, once you’ve canceled a subscription, the cancellation is final. You won’t be able to undo it and get a refund.

Canceling your subscription and then re-subscribing later isn’t possible either. When you cancel a subscription in iTunes or App Store (Apple’s online store), iCloud will remove any content associated with that Account from your device.

If you want to get all of those apps back, you’ll need to purchase them again manually or restore them from an iCloud backup.

If I cancel a free trial, will I be charged for it?

You can cancel a free trial at any time. However, if you cancel before the end of your free trial, you will not be charged for it, and you won’t be billed again until the day your subscription begins.

If you decide to keep your subscription, it will automatically renew unless you turn off auto-renewal by going to iTunes settings.

To turn off auto-renewal, go under Settings > iTunes & App Store > Apple ID > Auto-Renewal on any device that can access your account information, or open iTunes on a computer and go to Account> Manage Membership.
