How to Cancel Google Play Subscription

Introduction

When you set up a subscription to a service through an app you downloaded from the Google Play store, that subscription is often managed by Google Play. As a result, when the time comes when you no longer need that service, you have to cancel that service through Google Play and not other means, such as the service provider’s website. It’s important to note that if you’re looking for a refund for a Google Play subscription you have to make that request within 48 hours of the subscription being initiated; I’ll include the link in the description where you can start that process. If it’s been more than 48 hours, you’ll have to work with the app developer to see if they’ll give you a refund. In this article I’ll show you how to cancel your Google Play subscriptions through your Android phone or tablet, or a web browser. Examples of all instructions in the steps can be seen in both the YouTube video above and the image collection located beneath the steps.
