Cancel, pause, or change a subscription on Google Play

Subscriptions on Google Play are for an indefinite term, and you’ll be charged at the beginning of each billing cycle according to your subscription terms (for example, weekly, annually, or another period), unless you unsubscribe.

Make sure to sign in to the Google Account that has your subscriptions.

Cancel a subscription on play.google.com

Uninstalling the app will not cancel your subscription.

1. On your computer, go to your subscriptions in Google Play.
2. For the subscription you want to cancel, click Manage. 
3. Click Cancel subscription.
4. Within the confirmation pop-up, select a reason.
5. Click Continue.

If you have a subscription with an app and it’s removed from Google Play, your future subscription will be canceled. Your past subscriptions can’t be refunded, with some exceptions as specified in this article or in Google Play’s refund policies.

What happens after you cancel

When you cancel a subscription you’ll still be able to use your subscription for the time you’ve already paid.

For example, if you buy a one-year subscription on January 1 for $10 and decide to cancel your subscription on July 1:

• You’ll have access to the subscription until December 31.
• You won’t be charged another yearly subscription of $10 the following January 1.

What happens after you cancel Play Pass? 

Any apps you installed from Play Pass and their data will remain on your device. 

For content you obtained via Play Pass:

• Paid apps will prompt you to buy the app or subscribe to Play Pass.
• In-app purchases will be removed, but available for individual purchase.
• Ads will reappear in apps where they were removed.
• If you join Play Pass again, all this content will be unlocked again.
