Here's how to see subscriptions on iPhone: open Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions. That list shows subscriptions billed by Apple, including expired ones you can renew. For a record of past charges, open the App Store, tap your picture, then Apps & Purchase History. Anything billed outside Apple won't appear there, so check your statements too.
There are really two kinds of subscriptions on your phone. Some are billed by Apple, because you signed up inside an app or for an Apple service. Others are billed directly by the company, through your card, PayPal or your phone carrier. Your iPhone only lists the first kind, so this guide covers both.
These steps are the same in Apple's iPhone User Guide for iOS 26 and iOS 27.
Open the Settings app.
Tap your name at the top.
Tap Subscriptions.
You'll see your subscriptions from Apple, plus subscriptions you bought in apps from the App Store. From this screen you can:
Cancel: tap an active subscription, then tap Cancel Subscription or Cancel All Services. You may need to scroll down to find the button.
Change a plan: tap an active subscription, then choose a different option.
Renew: tap an expired subscription, then tap Renew.
Share with family: turn on Share with Family to share eligible subscriptions with your Family Sharing group.
Get a receipt every time: turn on Renewal Receipt Emails to get an email each time one of your subscriptions renews.
If there's no Cancel button, or you see an expiration message in red, that subscription is already canceled. If you're on a free trial you don't want to keep, Apple says to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. Our guide to canceling a free trial on iPhone covers that timing in detail.
The Subscriptions screen shows what you're signed up for. Purchase History shows what you've actually been charged. Apple says it includes free and paid apps, in-app purchases, subscriptions, music, videos, books, AppleCare+ and more.
Open the App Store app.
Tap the My Account button or your picture, tap Apps & Purchase History, then tap Purchase History. You may be asked for Face ID, Touch ID or your passcode.
To find one charge, type the name, price or order ID in the search field.
To look further back, tap "Last 90 Days, Paid" and change the date range, cost, type or family member.
Searching by price is handy when your bank statement shows an Apple charge you don't recognize. Type the exact amount and see what matches. The family member filter only appears if you're the organizer of a Family Sharing group.
You don't need your iPhone to see Apple subscriptions. Sign in with your Apple Account at account.apple.com and open the subscriptions section. On a Mac, open the App Store, click your name at the bottom of the sidebar, click your name again, then choose Subscriptions.
If a charge keeps appearing but you can't find it in Settings, it's usually one of the cases below. Apple's tip is to search your email for "receipt from Apple" or "invoice from Apple" and check which Apple Account is on the receipt.
A different Apple Account. If the receipt shows another account you use, sign in with that account and look there.
A family member's account. If their Apple Account is on the receipt, they have to cancel it. You can't cancel a family member's subscription for them.
Billed by the company directly. If there's no Apple receipt, a different company may be billing you. That's the case for anything you signed up for on a company's own website and paid for by card. Check your bank or card statement and contact that company.
Billed through your phone carrier or another provider. Apple says to contact that provider to cancel.
Paid with PayPal. On the PayPal website, go to Settings, then Payments, then Subscriptions and saved businesses or Automatic Payments, and select the merchant. From there you can cancel the automatic payment, and the merchant's contact details are listed too.
Your bank and card statements are the one place every subscription shows up together, whoever bills it. A quick way to scan them:
Pull the last 12 months, not just the last one, so yearly renewals show up.
Highlight any charge that repeats at the same amount, monthly or yearly.
Look up any merchant name you don't recognize.
Write each one down with its price, renewal date and how you pay for it: Apple, PayPal, carrier or card.
That last column tells you where to cancel. For a fuller routine, try our subscription audit checklist.
To stop a subscription billed straight to your card or bank, start with the company. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau suggests telling the company you're taking away permission for automatic payments, then telling your bank or credit union you've revoked it, and following up both in writing. Some banks offer a stop payment order, which usually carries a fee. Stopping the payment doesn't cancel the service or contract itself, so cancel that too.
The FTC adds two habits: keep a record of how and when you canceled, and check your card for charges afterward. If a company keeps charging after you've tried to cancel, you can file a dispute with your card issuer. For Apple charges, see our guide on getting an App Store refund.
You can see: active and expired Apple-billed subscriptions, your past Apple charges, and, as a Family Sharing organizer, family purchases in Purchase History.
You can't see: subscriptions on another Apple Account, anything billed directly by a company, PayPal automatic payments, or charges on your phone bill.
You can't cancel: a family member's subscription. They have to do it from their own account.
It's probably billed by someone other than Apple, or by a different Apple Account. Search your email for "receipt from Apple". If there's no Apple receipt, a different company may bill you, so check your card statement.
Go to Settings, tap your name, then tap Subscriptions. Apple's guide says you can tap an expired subscription there and tap Renew if you want it back.
Open the App Store, tap your picture, then Apps & Purchase History and Purchase History. Type the exact amount in the search field to see which purchase it matches.
If you organize a Family Sharing group, Purchase History lets you filter by family member. You still can't cancel their subscriptions. Each person cancels from their own Apple Account.
