How to remove paid apps on iPhone. How to cancel a paid subscription in the App Store or iTunes for an application or game. How to unsubscribe from magazines and newspapers

Owners of mobile devices are often forced to pay for paid services. And iPad owners are no exception. These services are sometimes so intrusive that they irritate the user, distracting him from other interesting applications. Of course, the first thought here is to cancel your subscription. However, many do not even know how to look at the list of these services, much less disable them.

Today we’ll talk about how to disable a subscription on an iPad.

Monetization technologies in Apple stores are divided into 3 types:

  • paid software;
  • shareware programs containing elements for which you have to pay;
  • subscriptions.

And if the first 2 technologies are combined, then the latter stands aside. The main thing for the company here is to gain the maximum number of subscribers so that monetization is effective.

Subscriptions are understood as a mechanism for paying for certain services, when a sum of money is debited from the user every month (or six months). These could be subscriptions to newspapers, music tracks, various services and internal software, etc.

The technology itself is classified into 2 large categories:

1 Non-renewable subscriptions. An example is packages of services for a season to watch some games. Or a regular service that is relevant in the current season. Upon completion, the user can perform a manual renewal. 2 Automatically renewable. At the end of a certain period, if there is enough money in the user’s accounts, they are debited automatically for the next period.

Please note that renewal in auto mode is carried out several hours before the next payment period. The Apple company's resource indicates eight hours, but a number of programs indicate 24 hours. This suggests that it is better to cancel subscriptions no later than one day before the money is debited.

Method for disabling a subscription in iOS

To this end, follow these steps:

  • Go to Settings, then select iTunes and App Store .
  • Click on your ID number.
  • Log in using Touch ID or password symbols.
  • Find the subscriptions item in the pop-up window and click on the control.
  • A list of all elements will be displayed. Moreover, it will be immediately clear which of them is active and which is expired.
  • Select the desired item.

By applying available options, do:

  • changing the tariff plan (for example, extend for a year instead of the current monthly);
  • disable renewal in auto mode (in this case, the service will terminate within the specified time frame).

Disabling it in iTunes

This method is useful to study if the tablet is sold or broken. In such situations, subscriptions are not automatically liquidated, and funds will continue to flow away from the user’s card.

To deactivate the service, follow this algorithm:

1 Launch iTunes. If you are not logged in, log in using your ID number. 2 Select an account, and then view. A window will pop up in which you will need to enter the ID number and password characters. 3 In the new window, scroll down and find the corresponding inscription. Click the control. 4 In the pop-up list, select the required subscription and change its parameters as you wish.

Cloud and iTunes Match subscriptions

These services should be mentioned separately. They are offered to users exclusively by subscription. Accordingly, it will not be possible to manage them according to the usual scenario.

For iCloud: go to settings, then to storage, then select the option to change plan and select the required tariff.

How to unsubscribe from magazines and newspapers?

In the fifth version of the operating system for Apple devices, the kiosk program was introduced for the first time. In the ninth variation it was replaced by Apple News. The latter is not available in our country. But the first one is still present.

The Apple resource contains a list of all newspapers, available for viewing in a browser on a PC/laptop. You can also open them in the Apple store or in iTunes.

Almost all the elements there are distributed according to the following scheme: free software - the same numbers - purchasing a subscription through internal subscriptions.

Apple Music unsubscribe method

Many users on the forums are interested in this common subscription. In particular, they are concerned with the question of how to check the validity period of the service.

Remember that the funds from the user’s card will automatically begin to decrease in favor of the service only 3 months after completing the subscription. Thus, the trial period is as long as 90 days. If during this time the user has lost the desire to continue using the service, the service renewal should be canceled automatically. This is done like this:

1 The tablet is connected to the network and the music program is launched. 2 At any point in the software, click on the user icon at the top left. Information about his account will be downloaded, and then on the Apple ID view line. 3 Authorization is in progress. 4 In the subscriptions section, click the control, disable the automatic renewal control, and confirm the decision. Click on the shutdown element. Service renewal will be disabled automatically.

Apple product owners can view, change, or cancel auto-renewing subscriptions on iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, Mac computers or PC. Automatically renewable subscriptions include subscriptions to music, newspapers, magazines, applications in the App Store, as well as Internet services such as HBO, Spotify, etc. In the instructions below we will tell you how to manage (cancel) subscriptions on Apple devices.

For example: if for some reason you no longer need access to the Apple music service, it is very easy to disable it.

If you don't know what it is Apple Music, then here is a small educational program:

  • More than 40 million tracks. Each of them can be listened to and added to your device, even for offline listening.
  • There are applications for iPhone, iPad, Mac, Android and PC.
  • Subscription price – 169 rubles per month for one user and .
  • Free trial period is 3 months.

When canceling your Apple Music subscription, keep in mind that after the end of the paid period, you will not be able to listen to any songs from the Apple music service - unlike Spotify and Pandora, Apple does not provide subscribers with a “stripped-down” free version.

As mentioned, Apple Music is available on most different platforms– both mobile and desktop. Accordingly, the instructions for unsubscribing on each of them will be slightly different.

Please note that if you have canceled your subscription to Apple Music (or another application) on at least one of your devices under a single Apple ID, you do not need to do the same on all other gadgets - one “unsubscribe” will be enough.

So just select the platform you want and follow the instructions:

To view, change, or unsubscribe, on your iOS device, go to the " Settings» → <Ваше имя> → « iTunes Store and App Store» and tap your ID at the top of the screen.

You can also access the same page directly from Apps Store by clicking on the profile avatar in the upper right corner.

On the page that appears, click "Manage subscriptions" and select the one you need. If the subscription is not displayed on the display, but payment for it is charged, check that the ID entered is correct. If the ID was entered correctly, it is possible that the subscription was not purchased through iTunes, but directly from the provider. In this situation, contact the content publisher or application developer.

To change your subscription, select one of the subscription options in the menu or click on the button " Cancel subscription" to give it up. In case of cancellation, the subscription will be valid until the end of the paid period.

If you cancel your subscription in advance, it will remain in effect for the remainder of the billing period. But next month they will no longer charge fees.
