Open Settings, then tap your name at the top

Your subscriptions live in the Settings app under your Apple ID. Tap Settings on your home screen, then tap your name at the very top of the screen — not "Settings" itself, but the line with your name and photo. This takes you to your Apple ID page.

From there, tap "Subscriptions" (you may need to scroll down to find it). This shows every subscription tied to your Apple ID, whether you signed up through the App Store, Apple Music, Apple TV+, or any app that uses Apple's payment system.

Key Takeaways

  • Subscriptions are found in Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions, not inside individual apps.
  • This view shows subscriptions from the App Store, Apple services, and any app using Apple's payment system — but not subscriptions you pay for outside the app.
  • You can see your next billing date, the price, and which apps have access to your subscription from this single screen.
  • Canceling a subscription here stops future charges immediately, though you keep access until the current period ends.

What you see on the Subscriptions screen

The Subscriptions page shows three categories: Active, Expired, and Canceled. Under Active, you see every subscription currently charging you. Each one displays the app name, the price, and when your next charge date is.

Tap any subscription to see more details: the renewal date, the price you pay, and whether the subscription auto-renews. Some subscriptions show a "Free Trial" label if you are still in a trial period before charges begin. This is also where you see if a subscription is shared with your family through Family Sharing.

How to find a subscription you forgot about

If you remember the app name but not whether you have an active subscription, search Settings for "Subscriptions" — the search box at the top of Settings will take you directly there. Then look through the Active list for that app's name.

If you cannot remember the app name at all, check your email for receipts from Apple. Apple sends a receipt to your Apple ID email address every time a subscription renews. The email subject line includes the app name and the amount charged, so you can search your inbox for "Apple" or a dollar amount you remember.

Subscriptions you pay for outside the app do not appear here

This Settings screen only shows subscriptions you pay for through Apple's system. If you signed up for a subscription directly on a website — like paying Netflix through netflix.com instead of the Netflix app — that subscription will not show up here, even if you use the app on your iPhone.

To find those subscriptions, you have to go back to the website or app where you created the account. Check your email for receipts from that company, or log into your account on their website to see active subscriptions and billing details.

Canceling a subscription from this screen

Tap the subscription you want to cancel, then tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom. You will see a confirmation screen asking why you are canceling — this is optional feedback for Apple, not a required step. Tap "Cancel Subscription" again to confirm.

Canceling stops future charges immediately. You keep access to the app or service until your current billing period ends — if you cancel on the 15th and your next charge was the 30th, you can still use it until the 30th. After that date, the subscription moves to your Canceled list.

Restarting a canceled subscription

If you canceled a subscription and want it back, go to the Subscriptions screen and look under the Canceled section. Tap the subscription, then tap "Resubscribe." You will be charged again on your next billing cycle, and the subscription moves back to Active.

Some apps also let you restart a subscription from within the app itself — you may see a button like "Restore" or "Resubscribe" when you open it. Either method works; both use the same Apple ID and payment method.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do I see a subscription I do not remember signing up for?

You may have started a free trial and forgotten about it before the paid period began. Check the renewal date — if it is coming up soon, that is likely what happened. You can cancel it now to stop the charge, or wait until after the trial ends if you want to try the service first.

Can I see subscriptions from other family members?

No. Each person sees only their own subscriptions in their own Apple ID settings. If you share a Family Sharing plan, you can see which family members have subscriptions to shared services like Apple Music or Apple TV+, but you cannot see their individual app subscriptions.

What if I canceled a subscription but still got charged?

Check the Subscriptions screen under Canceled to confirm the cancellation went through. If it shows as canceled but you were still charged, the charge may have been processed before your cancellation took effect. Contact Apple Support through Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases > Report a Problem, or check your email receipt for a refund link.

Do I need to cancel subscriptions in the app itself, or just in Settings?

Canceling in Settings is enough. You do not need to delete the app or cancel anywhere else. The app will stop working after your billing period ends, but the subscription is already canceled in Apple's system.
