How to cancel a purchase that was accidentally made?

So, ive downloaded an app and it immediately threw a payment plan for something at my face, and ive accidentally agreed to the subscription, charging it to a card that has no funds. It's affecting my other subscriptions, and i would like to get rid of it, and still have not paid for it. Is there any way for me to fix it?

You can't not have paid for it. You have to pay for it and then ask for a refund.


Confirm you have canceled any subscription automatic renewal (if you simply delete an app this does not cancel subscriptions):


Review the information in this support article by clicking on the link to learn how to cancel a subscription from Apple. ➔ If you want to cancel a subscription from Apple - Apple Support If you subscribed to this in the EU from a third party, see: About purchases not billed through the App Store or the App Store's In-App Purchase system - Apple Support instead.

• "If you signed up for a free or discounted trial subscription and you don't want to renew it, cancel it at least 24 hours before the trial ends."

• An existing subscription will normally continue until the end of its term and may then renew automatically. Stopping automatic renewal is effectively canceling it. "If you don’t see Cancel Subscription, then the subscription is already canceled and won't renew." The "Expires" date means the current subscription will just run until then.

• Read the article to see what to do about subscriptions that do not appear in your list. If you still can't find a subscription, contact Apple Support using the link at the end of the support article.

• Canceling a subscription does not automatically start a refund.

Ridding of a Purchase:

You need to request a refund. Note that the refund is not instantaneous. Meanwhile remove the app, by holding your finger on it, and the tapping the "X". Resulting a Refund: Request a Refund for Apps or Content that you Bought from Apple - Apple Support
