Where to find all your subscriptions on iPhone

Your iPhone stores all your active subscriptions in one place: the App Store settings. Open the App Store app, tap the profile icon in the top right corner, then tap Subscriptions. You will see every subscription tied to your Apple ID — streaming services, apps, cloud storage, fitness memberships, anything you pay for on a recurring basis.

This list shows what you are paying for, how much each costs, and when your next billing date is. If you have subscriptions you forgot about, this is where you will find them. The subscriptions appear whether you use them or not, so many people discover unused services here.

If you cannot find the Subscriptions button, make sure you are signed into your Apple ID. You can check this by going to Settings > [Your Name] at the top of the screen. If you see your name there, you are signed in.

Key Takeaways

  • All your subscriptions appear in one list in the App Store under your profile icon, regardless of which app you use to pay for them.
  • You can cancel any subscription directly from this list without contacting the company or the app developer.
  • Cancelling a subscription stops future charges but usually lets you keep access until your current billing period ends.
  • Some subscriptions offer a free trial period; you can cancel during the trial to avoid being charged.
  • If you are charged after cancelling, you can request a refund through the same subscription settings screen.

How to cancel a subscription

Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then tap Subscriptions. Find the subscription you want to stop and tap it. At the top of the screen, you will see a red button that says Cancel Subscription or Cancel Free Trial. Tap it, then confirm your choice when the app asks you to verify.

Once you cancel, the subscription stops renewing. You will not be charged again. However, you usually keep access to the service until your current billing period ends — if you paid for a month, you can use it for the rest of that month even after you cancel.

Some subscriptions let you pause instead of cancel. If you see a Pause Subscription button, you can use that to temporarily stop charges without losing your account or settings. When you are ready to resume, you can turn it back on from the same screen.

Changing your subscription plan

If you want to keep a subscription but switch to a different tier — for example, moving from a basic plan to a premium plan — tap the subscription in your list and look for Change Plan or Edit Subscription. Not all subscriptions offer multiple tiers, so this button may not appear.

When you change plans mid-billing cycle, the cost difference is usually prorated. If you upgrade to a more expensive plan, you pay the difference when ready. If you downgrade, the credit may appear on your next bill or be refunded to your original payment method, depending on the service.

Some apps let you change your plan directly in the app itself rather than through the App Store. Check the app's settings or account page first — if you cannot find the option there, use the App Store method.

What happens during free trials

Many subscriptions offer a free trial period — usually 7, 14, or 30 days. During this time, you have full access to the service without being charged. Your payment method is on file, but no money leaves your account until the trial ends.

If you do not want to be charged when the trial ends, you must cancel before the trial period finishes. Set a reminder on your calendar a few days before the end date so you do not forget. You can cancel a free trial the same way you cancel a paid subscription: open the App Store, go to Subscriptions, find the trial, and tap Cancel Free Trial.

If you forget to cancel and get charged, you can request a refund. Go back to the subscription in your list, tap it, scroll down, and look for Report a Problem or Request a Refund. Explain that you cancelled during the trial period, and Apple will review your request.

Requesting a refund for a subscription charge

If you were charged for a subscription you did not use or did not mean to renew, you can ask for your money back. Open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then tap Purchase History. Find the subscription charge you want to dispute, tap the three dots next to it, and select Report a Problem.

Describe what happened — for example, "I cancelled this subscription but was still charged" or "I was charged twice in one month." Apple reviews these requests and usually responds within a few days. Refunds are sent back to your original payment method.

You have up to 90 days from the charge date to request a refund. After that, you will need to contact Apple Support directly through their website or by calling their support line.

Viewing your subscription history and past charges

To see what you have been charged for subscriptions over time, go to the App Store, tap your profile icon, and select Purchase History. This shows every charge tied to your Apple ID, organized by date. You can filter by subscriptions to see only recurring charges.

This history is useful for spotting duplicate charges, subscriptions you forgot you had, or charges from services you no longer use. If you see something unfamiliar, tap it and select Report a Problem to start a refund request.

Your purchase history stays on your account indefinitely, so you can look back months or years to find old charges if needed.

Managing subscriptions across multiple Apple devices

If you use an iPhone, iPad, and Mac with the same Apple ID, your subscriptions appear on all of them. When you cancel a subscription on your iPhone, it cancels across all your devices. The same is true if you manage subscriptions on a Mac or iPad — the change shows up everywhere.

This means you only need to manage subscriptions in one place. You do not have to cancel the same service separately on each device. However, it also means if someone else uses your Apple ID on their device, they can see and manage your subscriptions.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I cancel a subscription without losing my account?

Yes. Cancelling a subscription stops future charges but does not delete your account with the service. Your data, settings, and preferences usually stay in place. If you resubscribe later, you can often pick up where you left off. Some services delete inactive accounts after a long period, so check their policy if you plan to return.

What if I cancel a subscription but still see charges?

If you are charged after cancelling, the charge may have been processed before your cancellation went through — subscription billing can take a day or two to update. Check your subscription list to confirm it shows as cancelled. If it does, request a refund through the Report a Problem option. If it still shows as active, you may need to cancel again.

Can I turn a subscription back on after I cancel it?

Yes. Go to the App Store, tap Subscriptions, and you will see both active and cancelled subscriptions. Tap a cancelled subscription and look for a Resubscribe or Resume button. You will be charged again starting on the date you resubscribe. Any free trial period may or may not be available again, depending on the service's policy.

Why do I see a subscription I do not remember signing up for?

This sometimes happens if you downloaded a free app that included a free trial for a paid version, or if you accidentally tapped a subscribe button while browsing. Check the app's name and search online to confirm what it is. If you do not recognize it or did not mean to sign up, cancel it when ready and request a refund if you were charged.

Can I see subscriptions from apps that are no longer installed?

Yes. Your subscription list in the App Store shows all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID, whether the app is installed on your phone or not. This is actually helpful — it means you can cancel subscriptions without needing to read the app again.
