Request a refund for unintended subscription charges

I was charged for subscriptions I didn’t intend to purchase. One of them is very expensive and I barely used it. I’d like to request a refund.

All you can do is try:

Request a refund for apps or content that you bought from Apple - Apple Support


In most cases all transactions in the App Store are final. At times Apple may provide a compassionate refund, but it should never be expected. It takes a deliberate action to start a subscription or free trial that will automatically become a subscription. For a free trial, you see a message on the screen that says to avoid a charge you must cancel at least a day before the subscription starts. That is what was agreed to and if you think you might forget to cancel, it is easy to say "Hey Sir, remind me on xx/xx/xx to review my subscription and cancel if needed".
