Where to find your subscriptions on iPhone

Your iPhone subscriptions live in the Settings app under your Apple ID. Open Settings, tap your name at the top, then select Subscriptions. You'll see every active subscription tied to your Apple ID account — apps, services, iCloud storage, Apple Music, and anything else you pay for monthly or yearly.

This is the only place on your iPhone where you can see all your subscriptions in one list. The App Store app shows subscriptions too, but only for apps downloaded through the App Store. The Settings method shows everything, including services like Apple TV+ and iCloud+ that don't live in the App Store.

If you can't find Subscriptions in your Apple ID settings, your iPhone may be running an older version of iOS. Subscriptions appeared in this location starting with iOS 13. You can still manage subscriptions through the App Store app on older versions, though the process is less direct.

Key Takeaways

  • Open Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions to see every active subscription on your iPhone in one place.
  • The Subscriptions section shows services from the App Store, Apple, and third-party companies all together.
  • You can cancel, pause, or change the plan for any subscription directly from this screen without contacting the company.
  • Expired or cancelled subscriptions appear in a separate section so you can see what you've stopped paying for.

What information appears in your subscriptions list

Each subscription shows the app or service name, the current plan you're on, and the next billing date. If you're on a free trial, it shows when the trial ends and when you'll be charged. You can tap any subscription to see more details: the renewal frequency, the exact amount you're charged, and the date you first started the subscription.

The list separates active subscriptions from ones you've cancelled. Cancelled subscriptions stay visible for a few days so you can reactivate them if you change your mind. After that, they move to a separate "Expired" section that you can view but not reactivate directly from Settings.

How to cancel or change a subscription

Tap any subscription in the list, then tap Cancel Subscription or Manage. If you choose Manage, you can switch to a different plan tier for the same service — for example, upgrading from Apple Music Individual to Apple Music Family. The change takes effect on your next billing date.

When you tap Cancel Subscription, your iPhone asks you to confirm. You'll see options to keep the subscription through the current billing period or cancel immediately. If you cancel immediately, you lose access right away but won't be charged again. If you keep it through the billing period, you can use the service until the renewal date, then it stops.

Cancelling through Settings stops the charge from Apple. The company that provides the service — Spotify, Netflix, or whoever — doesn't receive a cancellation notice directly. Apple handles the transaction, so you don't need to contact the service separately to stop being charged.

Pausing subscriptions instead of cancelling

Some subscriptions offer a pause option instead of cancellation. This keeps your account active and your settings saved, but stops the charges temporarily. Paused subscriptions show a Pause icon in your subscriptions list. You can pause for up to three months before the service automatically resumes.

Not every subscription supports pausing — it depends on what the company offers. Apple services like Apple Music and Apple TV+ support pausing. Many third-party apps do not. If you don't see a pause option when you tap a subscription, that service doesn't offer it.

Viewing subscriptions you've already cancelled

Scroll to the bottom of your Subscriptions list and tap Expired. This shows every subscription you've cancelled or that has ended. You can see when you cancelled it and the last date you had access. If you want to restart a cancelled subscription, tap it and select Reactivate.

Reactivating a cancelled subscription puts you back on the same plan you had before. You'll be charged on your next billing date. If the price has changed since you cancelled, you'll pay the current price, not what you paid before.

Why a subscription might not appear in your list

Subscriptions only show up if they're tied to your Apple ID. If you signed up for a service through the company's own website or app — without going through the App Store or Apple's payment system — it won't appear in Settings. You'd need to manage that subscription directly on the company's website or in their app.

Some apps offer subscriptions both ways: through the App Store and through their own website. If you subscribed through their website, you'll need to cancel there too. Cancelling the App Store version won't stop charges from the website version.

If you're looking for a subscription you know you have but can't find it, check whether you signed up through Apple or directly with the company. You can also search your email for confirmation messages — they'll tell you which payment method was used and where to manage the subscription.

Checking subscriptions on a family account

If you're part of an Apple Family Sharing group, you can see subscriptions that are shared with the family — like Apple Music Family or Apple TV+ Family. These appear in your Subscriptions list with a note that they're family subscriptions. You can't cancel a family subscription unless you're the account holder who set it up.

Each family member also has their own individual subscriptions. Those appear separately in each person's Settings. The family organizer can see which family members have active subscriptions, but can't see the details or cancel them without the member's permission.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see subscriptions from my iPad or Mac in the same place?

Yes. Any device signed into your Apple ID shows the same subscriptions list. On iPad, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. On Mac, open System Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. Changes you make on one device appear on all of them within a few minutes.

What happens if I cancel a subscription mid-month?

You keep access until the end of your current billing period. If you cancel on the 15th of a month and your renewal date is the 30th, you can use the service until the 30th, then it stops. You won't be charged again after cancellation.

Can I hide a subscription from my family members?

Individual subscriptions are private to your Apple ID. Family members can see shared family subscriptions, but not your personal ones. If you want to keep a subscription private, make sure you're signed into your own Apple ID, not a shared family account.

Why does my subscription show a different price than what I remember?

Subscription prices change over time. When a company raises the price, your next billing date charges the new amount. You'll see the updated price in your Subscriptions list. Some services notify you by email before a price increase takes effect.

Can I turn off notifications about upcoming subscription charges?

Your iPhone sends notifications when a subscription is about to renew. You can turn these off in Settings > Notifications, then scroll down and find the Subscriptions notification settings. Turning them off means you won't get reminders before you're charged, so you'll need to check your Subscriptions list manually.
