Where to find your subscriptions on iPhone, iPad, or Mac
Your Apple subscriptions live in the Settings app on iPhone and iPad, or System Settings on Mac. You do not need to hunt through multiple apps or websites — Apple keeps them all in one place so you can see what you are paying for each month.
On an iPhone or iPad, open Settings, tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions. On a Mac running Monterey or later, open System Settings, click your name in the sidebar, then click Subscriptions. You will see a list of every active subscription tied to your Apple ID, along with the renewal date and price for each one.
If you use an older Mac (Big Sur or earlier), the path is slightly different: open System Preferences, click your Apple ID, then click Subscriptions in the sidebar. The information you see is the same — just the location changed in newer versions of macOS.
Key Takeaways
- All your Apple subscriptions appear in one place: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on iPhone and iPad, or System Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on Mac.
- The list shows the renewal date, price, and current status of each subscription, so you can spot charges you forgot about.
- You can cancel or change the renewal settings for any subscription directly from this screen without contacting Apple support.
- Subscriptions purchased through the App Store, Apple Music, iCloud+, and Apple TV+ all appear in the same list.
What information you will see for each subscription
When you open your Subscriptions list, each entry shows the subscription name, the price you pay, and the date it will renew. Some subscriptions also display a status — for example, "Renews on [date]" or "Expires on [date]" if you have a free trial running.
Tap on any subscription to see more detail. You will find the renewal frequency (monthly, yearly, or custom), the date the subscription started, and options to change your renewal settings or cancel. If you have a free trial active, the screen will show how many days remain before you are charged.
This view also tells you which payment method Apple will use when the subscription renews — usually the credit card or Apple Gift Card balance linked to your Apple ID. If you want to change the payment method, you can do that from your Apple ID payment settings rather than from the subscription screen itself.
How to cancel a subscription you no longer want
Cancelling a subscription takes one tap. Open Settings (or System Settings on Mac), go to Subscriptions, tap the subscription you want to cancel, then tap Cancel Subscription. You will see a confirmation screen asking if you are sure — tap Confirm to finish.
When you cancel, the subscription stops renewing on the next billing date. You keep access to the service until that date arrives. For example, if you cancel Apple TV+ on the 15th and your renewal date is the 20th, you can still watch until the 20th, then your access ends. You are not charged again.
If you cancel during a free trial, your access ends immediately when you confirm the cancellation. You will not be charged, and you will not have access to the service after that moment.
Subscriptions that do not appear in this list
The Subscriptions screen shows only subscriptions you purchased directly through Apple or through apps in the App Store. Subscriptions you bought on a company's own website — like a streaming service's website, a magazine's website, or a software maker's website — do not appear here, even if you are paying with the same Apple ID or credit card.
If you signed up for a subscription through an app's in-app purchase button, it will show up in your Apple Subscriptions list. If you signed up by visiting the company's website directly and entering your payment information there, it will not. You will need to visit that company's website or app to manage or cancel those subscriptions.
To find subscriptions you may have set up outside of Apple, check your email for confirmation messages or receipts, or log into the company's website and look for an account or billing section.
Checking subscriptions on a shared family account
If you use Family Sharing, each family member has their own Subscriptions list tied to their own Apple ID. When you open Settings on your device and go to Subscriptions, you see only the subscriptions you personally purchased, not those bought by other family members.
The family organizer (the person who set up Family Sharing) can see a summary of family subscriptions in a different location: Settings > [Your Name] > Family Sharing > Subscriptions. This shows subscriptions purchased by any family member, but the organizer cannot cancel another person's subscription — each person must cancel their own.
If a family member purchases a subscription and you want to know about it, they will need to tell you, or you can ask them to show you their Subscriptions list on their device.
What to do if you see a subscription you do not recognize
If a subscription appears in your list and you do not remember buying it, start by checking the renewal date and price to see if it matches any charges on your credit card statement. Sometimes a subscription name in Settings is different from how it appears on your bank statement, so matching the amount and date can help you figure out what it is.
Tap on the subscription to see when it started. If it started months ago and you have been paying for it without realizing, you can cancel it immediately — you will not be refunded for past charges, but you will stop future charges. If it started very recently and you did not authorize it, someone else may have access to your Apple ID.
If you believe your Apple ID has been compromised, change your Apple ID password right away. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Password and Security > Change Password on iPhone, or System Settings > [Your Name] > Password and Security > Change Password on Mac. If you see subscriptions you definitely did not buy, contact Apple Support and report the unauthorized purchase.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see my subscription history, or only current subscriptions?
The Subscriptions screen shows only active subscriptions. Once you cancel a subscription, it disappears from the list. To find past subscriptions, check your email for cancellation confirmations, or look at your purchase history in the App Store app — tap your profile picture, then tap Purchases, then look for subscriptions you have cancelled.
Why is my subscription not showing up even though I am being charged?
If you are being charged but do not see the subscription in Settings, it was likely purchased outside of Apple — on the company's website or through their own app, not through the App Store. Check your email receipts to find the company's name, then visit their website or app to manage it there.
Can I change my subscription renewal date?
You cannot pick a specific date, but you can change the renewal frequency. Open the subscription details and look for options like monthly, yearly, or other intervals the company offers. Some subscriptions do not allow you to change the frequency — in that case, your only option is to cancel and buy a different plan.
What happens if my payment method expires before my subscription renews?
Apple will try to charge your payment method on the renewal date. If the card is expired or invalid, the charge will fail and Apple will send you an email asking you to update your payment information. Your subscription will not renew until you add a valid payment method. You may lose access to the service if you do not update it before the current period ends.
Do I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?
No. When you cancel a subscription, you keep access until the next renewal date, but Apple does not refund the portion of the month you do not use. If you cancel on the 15th of a 30-day billing cycle, you still have access through day 30, but you will not receive a refund for the remaining 15 days.
