So, you signed up for the Spotify free trial on your iPhone, enjoyed the tunes, and now it's time to cancel before you get charged. Don't worry, it's easier than you think! This guide walks you through simple steps to ensure you avoid any unexpected charges.
Understanding Spotify Free Trial Cancellation
Before diving into the how-to, let's address a common misconception. Many believe cancelling a free trial is as simple as deleting the app. This is incorrect. Deleting the Spotify app from your iPhone doesn't cancel your subscription. You need to cancel through your Apple account settings.
Step-by-Step Guide: Cancelling Your Spotify Free Trial on iPhone
Here's a clear, step-by-step guide to successfully cancel your Spotify free trial on your iPhone:
-
Open Your iPhone's Settings App: Locate the grey app icon with gears.
-
Tap on Your Apple ID: This is usually at the top of the screen and will show your name and profile picture.
-
Select "Subscriptions": You'll find this option within the menu that appears.
-
Locate Your Spotify Subscription: A list of your active subscriptions will appear. Find "Spotify".
-
Tap "Spotify": This will bring up the details of your Spotify subscription.
-
Tap "Cancel Subscription": This option will be clearly visible. Make sure you confirm your cancellation! Apple might prompt you with a confirmation message to prevent accidental cancellations.
What Happens After Cancelling?
Once you've cancelled, your Spotify Premium trial will continue until the end of the current billing cycle. You will no longer be charged after the trial ends. You can still use Spotify's free version after your trial ends, though it will have some limitations.
Troubleshooting Common Issues
-
Can't find Spotify in Subscriptions: Ensure you've signed up for Spotify through your Apple account. If you used a different method (e.g., directly through Spotify's website), you'll need to cancel it there.
-
Error message during cancellation: Try restarting your iPhone or contacting Apple Support.
Preventing Future Accidental Charges
To avoid any future surprises, make a note of the end date of your Spotify free trial. Set a reminder on your calendar a few days before the trial ends to ensure you remember to cancel. This simple step will save you from potential unexpected charges.
Key Takeaways: Cancelling your Spotify Free Trial
- Deleting the app does NOT cancel the trial.
- Cancellation must be done through your Apple account settings.
