Owners of mobile devices are often forced to pay for services. And iPad owners are no exception. These services are sometimes so intrusive that they irritate the user, distracting him from other interesting applications. Of course, the first thought here is to cancel your subscription. However, many do not even know how to look at the list of these services, much less disable them.
Today we’ll talk about how to disable a subscription on an iPad.
Monetization technologies in Apple stores are divided into 3 types:
- paid software;
- shareware programs containing elements for which you have to pay;
- subscriptions.
And if the first 2 technologies are combined, then the latter stands aside. The main thing for the company here is to gain the maximum number of subscribers so that monetization is effective.
Subscriptions are understood as a mechanism for paying for certain services, when a sum of money is debited from the user every month (or six months). These could be subscriptions to newspapers, music tracks, various services and internal software, etc.
The technology itself is classified into 2 large categories:
1 Non-renewable subscriptions. An example is packages of services for a season to watch some games. Or a regular service that is relevant in the current season. Upon completion, the user can perform a manual renewal. 2 Automatically renewable. At the end of a certain period, if there is enough money in the user’s accounts, they are debited automatically for the next period.Please note that renewal in auto mode is carried out several hours before the next payment period. The Apple company's resource indicates eight hours, but a number of programs indicate 24 hours. This suggests that it is better to cancel subscriptions no later than one day before the money is debited.
Method for disabling a subscription in iOS
To do this, follow these steps:
- Go to Settings, then select iTunes and App Store.
- Click on your ID number.
- Log in using Touch ID or password symbols.
- Find the subscriptions item in the pop-up window and click on the control.
- A list of all elements will be displayed. Moreover, it will be immediately clear which of them is active and which is expired.
- Select the desired item.
Using the available options, run:
- changing the tariff plan (for example, extend for a year instead of the current monthly);
- disable renewal in auto mode (in this case, the service will terminate within the specified time frame).
Disabling it in iTunes
This method is useful to study if the tablet is sold or broken. In such situations, subscriptions are not automatically liquidated, and funds will continue to flow away from the user’s card.
To deactivate the service, follow this algorithm:
1 Launch iTunes. If you are not logged in, log in using your ID number. 2 Select an account, and then view. A window will pop up in which you will need to enter the ID number and password characters. 3 In the new window, scroll down and find the corresponding inscription. Click the control. 4 In the pop-up list, select the required subscription and change its parameters as you wish.Cloud and iTunes Match subscriptions
These services should be mentioned separately. They are offered to users exclusively by subscription. Accordingly, manage them according to normal scenario it won't work.
For iCloud: go to settings, then to storage, then select the option to change plan and select the required tariff.
How to unsubscribe from magazines and newspapers?

Apple Music unsubscribe method
Many users on the forums are interested in this common subscription. In particular, they are concerned with the question of how to check the validity period of the service.
Remember that the funds from the user’s card will automatically begin to decrease in favor of the service only 3 months after completing the subscription. So the time trial period- a full 90 days. If during this time the user has lost the desire to continue using the service, the service renewal should be canceled automatically. This is done like this:
1 The tablet is connected to the network and the music program is launched. 2 At any point in the software, click on the user icon at the top left. Information about his account will be downloaded, and then on the Apple ID view line. 3 Authorization is in progress. 4 In the subscriptions section, click the control, disable the automatic renewal control, and confirm the decision. Click on the shutdown element. Service renewal will be disabled automatically.
