Cannot cancel active subscription

I have an app under active subscription and it says it will expire on March 2022. However, there’s no option to cancel it. How can I proceed?

If you don't see the subscription that you're looking for

If you tried to see or cancel a subscription and you can't find the subscription that you're looking for, check the following things. Or contact Apple Support.


Is the subscription billed through another company?

On your bank statement, find the charge for the subscription. If it does not say iTunes, Apple, or something similar, the subscription might not be billed through Apple.

Get help with subscriptions that aren't billed through Apple.


Did a family member sign up for the subscription?

A Family Sharing organizer can’t manage subscriptions for other family members. Ask your family members to change or cancel their subscriptions from their own devices or when they're signed in with their own Apple ID. You can also use Ask to Buy to control what kids buy.

Turn on Ask to Buy.

Did you subscribe with a different Apple ID?

To see subscriptions for a different Apple ID, sign in with that Apple ID, then follow the steps in this article.

Do you need to manage iCloud storage or AppleCare plans?

Downgrade your iCloud storage plan.

Manage an AppleCare+ plan or AppleCare Protection Plan.

There is a section called "ACTIVE" and a section called "EXPIRED" but there is no section called "CANCELLED". It is not until a subscription (which may or may not have been cancelled?) has expired that it will appear in "EXPIRED" with a note stating its Cancellation date. This leaves users anxious & unsure about whether they will be charged when an Active subscription expires. This should be stated more clearly. Under Options mine says "Select an option to resubscribe. If you resubscribe, your new subscription will begin again on (in my case) Jan 30, 2022." To help clarify - Apple could add: "If you do nothing, your subscription will Expire. You may be notified but you will not be charged unless you resubscribe."
