It’s quite unusual to come across people who have various subscription services. With so much gaming, music, TV, and film streaming content available, not to mention health and food applications, it’s nearly hard to avoid signing up for a monthly premium service. Keeping track of all of those subscriptions might be tricky, but Android’s Google Play Store makes it easier by allowing you to access them all in one location within the app. Meanwhile, you can cancel a subscription instantly from the Google Play Store app, which eliminates the need to log in to the app. In this guide, we will take a look at how to cancel a Google Play Store subscription. So, without much further ado, let’s get started.
How to cancel a Google Play store subscription
The first thing you should understand is that canceling isn’t your sole option. If you’re short on cash, you may be able to put your subscription on hold for a month and resume it the following month. Only a few apps have this feature, but it’s worth investigating to see if they do. Meanwhile, here is how to cancel a Google Play Store subscription:
- Open the Google Play Store app and double-check that you’re using the correct account.
- In the upper right corner, tap the Account icon.
- Then tap Subscriptions under Payments and Subscriptions.
- Find and pick the subscription you want to cancel.
- Follow the on-screen instructions after tapping Cancel subscription.
- You may be asked to choose a reason for the cancellation. Select one of the options and then tap Continue, then Cancel subscription.

Note: When you cancel a Google Play Store subscription, you will be able to continue using the service until the month for which you have already paid expires. Your access will expire after that, and you will either be unable to utilize the service or be forced to resort to the app’s non-premium version.
When it comes to refunds, subscription refunds are a little more tricky than refunds for app purchases. You should be able to request a refund within 48 hours of subscribing in most cases. You will, however, only be reimbursed for the month you canceled. Depending on the subscription service, you may also need to contact the app developer directly
