You can use our self-help flow to cancel a subscription.
Cancel a subscription on the Google Play app
- On your Android device, go to subscriptions in Google Play.
- Select the subscription you want to cancel.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the instructions.
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.
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.
What happens after you cancel a prepaid plan
Prepaid plans last for a limited time, so you don’t need to cancel them. They automatically expire at the end of the billing period.
If your prepaid plan hasn’t been used, you can request a refund for it. Learn more about refunds on Google Play.
To cancel an unused prepaid subscription plan:
- On your Android device, go to subscriptions on Google Play.
- Select the subscription or prepaid plan you want to cancel.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the on-screen instructions.
Cancel immediately
If you are located in Germany, you can also choose to cancel your eligible subscriptions that have billing periods longer than a month (for example subscriptions with annual billing) with immediate effect and request a partial refund. To cancel immediately, follow the cancellation instructions above and select the option to cancel immediately and request a partial refund, then complete the required steps. If you choose this option, your subscription will be immediately canceled and you will lose access to the content. Your partial refund will be prorated based on the days left on the subscription.
