Cancel or change a subscription on Google Play

Subscriptions on Google Play renew automatically unless you unsubscribe. If you don't want the subscription for your magazine, newsstand content (e.g. the New York Times), streaming service, or other app to renew, you can cancel the subscription on Google Play. You can also change the payment method used for a subscription or membership. Sometimes you can also change the subscription frequency.

Cancel a subscription

1. Open the Google Play Store .
2. Tap Menu  Account  Subscriptions.
3. Find the subscription you want to cancel. 
4. Tap Cancel. 

Important: Uninstalling an app will not automatically stop your subscription. You must cancel your subscription to end your subscription. If you uninstall the app without canceling your subscription, you will still be charged. If an app you've purchased a subscription for is removed from Google Play, your future subscription will be automatically canceled but past subscriptions will not be refunded.

Access after you cancel

When you cancel a subscription you will still have access to your subscription for the remainder of time you have already paid for. 

For example, if you purchased a one-year subscription on Jan. 1 for $10 and decide to cancel your subscription on July 1, you will have access to the subscription until Dec. 31. But you will not be charged another yearly subscription of $10 the following Jan. 1.

Restart or restore a subscription

If your subscription is cancelled but still active:

1. Open the Google Play Store .
2. Tap Menu  Account  Subscriptions.
3. Find the subscription you want to restore. 
4. Tap Restore. 

The option to restore may not be available for all apps.

If you cancelled your subscription and the remaining time on your subscription has expired, set up your subscription again.
