📱 Can You Cancel Using the Mobile App?
This is where things get tricky. The Spotify app (on both iOS and Android) doesn’t let you cancel directly. But don’t panic—we’ve got workarounds!
👉 If You Subscribed with Spotify Directly:
- Open your browser (Safari, Chrome, etc.) on your phone.
- Go to spotify.com and log in.
- Follow the same steps listed above for canceling in a browser.
👉 If You Subscribed Through Apple on an iPhone or iPad:
You’ll need to cancel your subscription through your Apple ID settings.
- Open Settings on your device.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find Spotify in the list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
👉 If You Subscribed Through Google Play:
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap the menu (three horizontal lines).
- Choose Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions.
- Select Spotify.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
Remember, if you don’t see Spotify listed, you likely signed up directly through Spotify and should use the browser method.

Good question! Here’s what to expect:
- You keep Premium until the end of your billing cycle.
