One-stop shopping is usually associated with convenience. We would like to purchase all of our groceries at the same place and listen to all our music on one music service and pay all our bills with one bank. This is the reason that lies behind Apple ID subscriber manager Apple has tried to bring together all your recurring payments to music services, app purchases, and other subscriptions into one location within your iPhone.


It is recommended to follow the steps below, too, at minimum, be aware of the subscriptions you're paying each month. You may be shocked to discover that you're paying for old-fashioned subscriptions. Once you've found them, you're able to get rid of the ones you no longer require. Remember that this is only applicable to subscriptions you have signed up for with the Apple ID account. If you follow these steps and aren't able to locate the service you're seeking, this means you didn't make use of an Apple ID to sign up for it.



  • Start your Settings App for your iPhone and tap your name and Apple ID at the top.
  • Then, on the Apple ID page, tap "Subscriptions." You may be required for you to input your username or utilize Touch ID or Face ID to sign in to your account.
  • Check out the list of active subscriptions. If you spot one you'd like to learn more about or change, click it.
  • On the page of subscription, review the information about your subscription. To cancel the subscription, simply tap "Cancel subscription," after which you can confirm your decision. If you're in the middle of a trial that is free, you may receive a message such as "Cancel free trial" instead.



How to Cancel the Apple Subscriptions That You Have On Mac


Suppose you'd like to cancel the app subscription via your Mac. Since macOS Catalina, iTunes no is available on macOS. This means that the app's ability to cancel subscriptions can now be found within App Store. Launch your App Store from your Mac then, click your name and profile icons at the bottom left. After that, choose View Information at the top-right. You might need to verify the validity of your Apple ID password to proceed.


When you're on the Account information page, go until you reach the Manage area. There's a section for subscriptions that lists the number of subscriptions currently on your account—Click Manage on the right side of this. You'll then see an identical panel like the one on iPhone or iPad. You can change or cancel the Apple and third-party app if you're logged in using an identical Apple ID.


Manage Other Subscriptions You Have On Your iPhone


Didn't you find the subscription you were searching for with any of the methods above? You'll have to unsubscribe from the service using a different method. This subscription management method only applies to applications you've subscribed to using your Apple ID. The system won't display subscriptions that you've made on other devices or services.


You may, for instance, have registered for Spotify Premium through the Google Play Store on an Android device or even joined Netflix through its website. While you can use these accounts by signing up for the apps available on iPhone, Apple has nothing to do with the subscription you have signed up for. You'll need to work with this service to control your account. A simple Google search should lead you to the right website to log into the account and control the subscription.


If you're having difficulty discovering where your subscription originates, you can check your credit card statements to determine which businesses you've paid. Vendors with names like "Apple" and "App Store" signify a subscription that you purchased using the use of your Apple ID, while the name of the company will probably be displayed on direct subscriptions. You may have also signed up via a platform like PayPal and Amazon Pay, so look for them too.


If you are using the Apple Family Sharing, one of your family members may have subscribed to a service independently. It's impossible to manage this using your Apple ID, so you'll have to get the person to search for it or use one of the devices they have to control the subscription. You can also pay another person to share your subscription and require a conversation with them. Ensure that you did not subscribe using an alternative Apple ID than the one you're currently using. Verify your other email accounts that you have to see if they've received the receipt email from Apple.
