Can I block an app from purchases on my Apple account?

Can I block an app from purchases on my apple account? My son downloaded an app that is causing unexpected charges and I want it blocked. Thank you.

You will have to get your son to cancel the subscription, or you will have to remove him from your Family Sharing group so your payment method is cut off from him, or you will have to get him to redeem a gift card to his account so her starts paying for the subscription.


Please click on this link to learn "How to cancel a subscription from Apple" ➔ https://support.apple.com/HT202039


Note:

• "If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already canceled and won't renew." An "Expires" date (instead of "Renews") means the current subscription will just run until then. "Resubscribe" is just in case you change your mind about having it end.

• Deleting an app does not cancel a subscription.

• If you don’t cancel trials more than 24 hours before your renewal date, your subscription might renew.

• If you don't have an Apple device, see the options near the very bottom of the support document.


"If the subscription that you want to cancel is not listed", click here ➔ https://support.apple.com/HT212052

If you still can't find a subscription, contact Apple Support using the link at the end of the support article.


If you still have problems:
