Pro Tips
Pausing is NOT cancelling — a paused plan auto-resumes and bills you later
If you joined through Apple, cancel in iPhone Settings > Subscriptions instead
If billed through Google Play, cancel in the Play Store subscriptions menu
Benefits continue until the end of the period you already paid for
Common Questions
Is pausing the same as cancelling?
No — a paused membership restarts automatically and charges you again, so choose "Deactivate" to truly cancel.
