What "My Google Subscriptions" shows you

My Google Subscriptions is a page inside your Google Account where you can see every subscription you are paying for through Google Play, YouTube, Google One, and other Google services. It is not a separate app or website — it lives in your Google Account settings, and you reach it by signing into your account and navigating to the subscriptions section.

This page lists what you are subscribed to, how much each one costs, when you will be charged next, and whether each subscription is active or paused. You can cancel, pause, or change payment methods for any subscription from this single location. If you have multiple Google accounts, each one has its own subscriptions page showing only the subscriptions tied to that account.

The subscriptions that appear here are ones you started through Google services — apps from Google Play, YouTube Premium, YouTube Music, Google One storage plans, and similar products billed through your Google Account. Subscriptions you started directly with other companies (like Netflix or Spotify) do not show up here, even if you pay for them with a Google payment method.

Key Takeaways

  • You reach My Google Subscriptions by signing into your Google Account, going to the security or payments section, and selecting subscriptions.
  • The page shows only subscriptions billed through Google, not subscriptions you started with other companies.
  • You can cancel, pause, or change the payment method for any subscription directly from this page without contacting Google support.
  • Canceling a subscription stops future charges but does not refund money you have already paid.
  • If you pause a subscription, charges stop temporarily, and you can resume it later without losing your account or settings.

How to find My Google Subscriptions

Start by going to myaccount.google.com in your web browser and signing in with the Google Account you use for your subscriptions. Once you are signed in, look for the menu on the left side of the page. Click Payments & subscriptions or Billing (the exact name varies depending on your account region and when Google last updated the interface).

On the Payments & subscriptions page, you will see a section labeled Subscriptions or My subscriptions. Click on it. This opens a list of every active and paused subscription tied to your account. If you have no subscriptions, this section will say so.

On a phone or tablet, the steps are the same: go to myaccount.google.com, sign in, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines), find Payments & subscriptions, and tap Subscriptions. The layout is narrower but the information and options are identical.

What information appears for each subscription

For each subscription, you will see the name of the service, the price you pay, how often you are charged (monthly, yearly, or another interval), and the date of your next charge. Some subscriptions also show a brief description of what the plan includes — for example, "YouTube Premium: Ad-free videos, offline viewing, background play."

Next to each subscription, you will see a menu button (usually three dots or a downward arrow). Clicking this button opens options to manage that subscription. The most common options are Cancel subscription, Pause subscription, and Change payment method. Some subscriptions also let you change the plan level (for example, upgrading from Google One 100 GB to 200 GB) from this menu.

If a subscription is paused, it will show a Paused label, and the next charge date will not appear. If a subscription is set to cancel at the end of the current billing period, it may show a label like Cancels on [date] so you know when your access will end.

How to cancel a subscription

Find the subscription you want to cancel in your list, click the menu button next to it, and select Cancel subscription. Google will ask you to confirm the cancellation and may offer you a discount or incentive to keep the subscription — you can ignore these offers and proceed with cancellation if you want to.

Once you confirm, the subscription is canceled. You will not be charged again after your current billing period ends. You keep access to the service until that date arrives. For example, if you cancel YouTube Premium on the 15th of the month and your next charge was scheduled for the 20th, you can still use YouTube Premium until the 20th, then your access ends.

Canceling a subscription does not refund charges you have already paid. If you were charged just before canceling, that charge stands. Some services (like Google Play apps) have a short refund window — usually 15 minutes to an hour after purchase — but subscriptions billed monthly or yearly do not have a standard refund period. If you believe you were charged in error, you can contact Google support to request a refund, but canceling the subscription itself does not trigger one automatically.

How to pause a subscription

Pausing a subscription is different from canceling it. When you pause, charges stop temporarily, but your account, settings, and any content you created stay in place. You can resume the subscription later without losing anything. This is useful if you want to take a break from a service but plan to come back to it.

To pause, find the subscription in your list, click the menu button, and select Pause subscription. Google will ask how long you want to pause it — usually you can choose to pause for one month, three months, or until you manually resume it. Select your preference and confirm.

While paused, you will not be charged, and you will not have access to the service (for example, you cannot watch YouTube Premium videos without ads). When the pause period ends, charges resume automatically unless you cancel before that date. You can also manually resume a paused subscription at any time by clicking the menu button and selecting Resume.

How to change your payment method

If you want to use a different credit card, debit card, or payment method for a subscription, click the menu button next to that subscription and select Change payment method or Update payment method. This opens a list of payment methods already saved to your Google Account.

You can select a different saved payment method from the list. If you want to add a new payment method (a new credit card, for example), you will see an option to add one. Enter the card details, billing address, and any other information Google requests, then save it. The subscription will be charged to this new method starting with your next billing date.

Changing the payment method for one subscription does not change it for others — each subscription can use a different payment method if you want. If you want to change the payment method for all your Google subscriptions at once, you can update your default payment method in your Google Account settings, and new subscriptions will use that method by default (though existing subscriptions may keep their current method).

What to do if you do not recognize a subscription

If you see a subscription on your list that you do not remember starting, or that you thought you had already canceled, take these steps. First, click on the subscription to see if there is more detail — sometimes the full name or description will remind you what it is. Second, check the charge date and amount to see if it matches charges on your credit card or bank statement.

If you are certain you did not start the subscription and do not want it, cancel it when ready using the menu button. Cancellation stops future charges right away. If you were charged for a subscription you did not authorize, contact Google support and describe what happened — you may be able to get a refund for unauthorized charges, though this is handled case by case.

If someone else has access to your Google Account (a family member, for example) and started a subscription without telling you, you can cancel it from this page. If you are concerned about unauthorized access to your account, change your Google Account password and review your recent security activity in the Security section of your Google Account settings.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see subscriptions from other people's Google Accounts on my account?

No. My Google Subscriptions shows only subscriptions tied to the account you are signed into. If you have multiple Google Accounts, each one has its own subscriptions page. If you want to manage someone else's subscription, they need to sign into their own account and manage it themselves, or they need to give you access to their account (which is not recommended for security reasons).

What happens to my data if I cancel a subscription?

This depends on the service. For example, if you cancel Google One, your extra cloud storage goes away after your billing period ends, and any files stored beyond your free storage limit may be deleted. If you cancel a YouTube Premium subscription, you lose ad-free viewing but your watch history and playlists stay on your account. Check the service's terms or support page to understand what happens to your data when you cancel.

Can I get a refund if I cancel a subscription?

Canceling a subscription does not automatically refund charges you have already paid. If you cancel in the middle of a billing period, you keep access until the end of that period, but you do not get money back for the unused time. If you believe you were charged in error or without permission, you can contact Google support to request a refund, but this is reviewed case by case.

Will I lose my account if I cancel all my subscriptions?

No. Canceling subscriptions does not delete your Google Account or any of your free Google services like Gmail, Google Drive, or Google Photos. You will still be able to sign in and use everything you could before, except for the features that require an active subscription (like YouTube Premium's ad-free viewing).

How do I know when my subscription will be charged?

The next charge date appears next to each active subscription on your My Google Subscriptions page. This date is usually the same day each month (or year, depending on your plan). If you want to change when you are charged, you can pause the subscription and resume it on a different date, or contact Google support to ask about changing your billing date.
