How to cancel Spotify subscription from app
Do you want to cancel your Spotify subscription from a smartphone or tablet? Then you must know that you can easily succeed in this intent, but that you cannot proceed directly from the Spotify app for Android (even on alternative stores for all those devices that do not use Google services) or iPhone / iPad: you must act as a browser. Find everything explained below.
How to cancel Spotify subscription: Android
If you are using an Android device, you can cancel your Spotify subscription using the browser you normally use to browse online (e.g. Google Chrome ). Then start the latter, go to the Spotify login page and log in to your account.
This operation can be completed by pressing the Login button and then using the Continue with Facebook buttons if you are logged in using this social network, Continue with Apple if you used your Apple ID, Continue with Google if you used your Google account or by simply entering the email/username and password that you set only for Spotify and then pressing the Login button. If you don’t remember the password, I suggest you consult my guide dedicated to how to see the Spotify password and how to recover it.
Once in your profile, tap on the icon of the three horizontal lines and, in the new screen opened, select the Account item. You will see a new page open in which there is a summary of your account: scroll down to the item Your plan, and tap the Change plan button.
Also scroll through the new screen opened, until you find the Cancel the Premium subscription button in the box dedicated to Spotify Free and press it, then to confirm the operation, also tap the Continue buttons to cancel and Yes, cancel.
After performing all these steps, the page referring to your subscription will indicate the date from which you will return to the free service based on advertising. In a nutshell, despite having canceled the subscription, the Premium version service will continue to be active and usable until the expiry date set for it.
If in the future you decide to activate Spotify Premium again, you can therefore avoid any unwanted charges for the renewal by deactivating the renewal in advance and continuing to use the Premium service until the expiry date.
Having said that, choose whether to fill out the questionnaire relating to the reasons that prompted you to cancel your subscription, placing a check mark next to the most appropriate motivation among those proposed, inserting a comment and indicating (always putting a check mark) how many chances are you will be able to go back to using your Premium membership. Once this is done, send your answers by pressing the Send button. Alternatively, tap the Skip button to not complete the questionnaire.
Now you have found out how to cancel Spotify Premium subscription, pretty simple right? If, on the other hand, you do not see what is described and the summary page of the Spotify account does not contain the Change plan button, it means that the subscription has been signed with a partner company, such as a telephone operator.
To deal with the problem and cancel your subscription, all you have to do is look for the Payment item and under it you will find the contact links to start the procedure through that company.
How to cancel Spotify subscription: iPhone
