How To Remove Expired Subscriptions on iPhone: A Guide

Introduction

If you have an iPhone, chances are you have a lot of subscriptions. It’s easy for your subscription list to get out of hand between all of the apps, music, books, and magazines.

We will guide you through the entire process of canceling your subscription to a service, whether a streaming music service like Spotify or a cable TV package from Apple TV.

We’ll also show you how to manage your subscriptions so that you can cancel them if you no longer need the service. Here’s how to manage subscriptions on your iPhone.

How To Remove Expired Subscriptions on iPhone

You can’t delete expired subscriptions from the Subscriptions list. All expired subscriptions automatically disappear from the list when one year is up.

If you have an expired subscription, your best bet might be to contact Apple and ask them to delete the subscription for you. You can do this by sending them feedback through a feature request. However, you can still cancel your active subscriptions.

What’s An Expired Subscription?

An expired subscription is a subscription that has come to the end of its term and is no longer valid.

The term is usually used in the context of software or online services. For example, a web-based email service may offer a free trial subscription that expires after a certain amount of time, say 30 days.

When those 30 days are up, the free trial subscription has ended and is expired. If the user does not cancel their subscription before it expires, they will be charged for using the service after the trial period.

In some cases, it may also refer to a subscription that the user has canceled before the next billing period arrives. When the billing date arrives, the subscription will then be deemed expired.

What To Keep In Mind When Cancelling Subscriptions

You might want to cancel your subscription to a service, whether you’re not using it enough to justify the cost or because you’ve found a better alternative.

When you download an app, you may be asked to subscribe to a monthly or annual fee to access the app’s features; this is a common way for app developers to make money.

However, if you have too many subscriptions, it can be hard to keep track of them and renew them on time. Here are some tips for managing your app subscriptions:

  • First, always double-check to make sure you are canceling the right subscription. It can be easy to cancel the wrong one, especially if you have multiple subscriptions with the same company.
  • Ensure you are aware of the cancellation policy. Many companies require a certain amount of notice before canceling a subscription. If you don’t follow the policy, the company may charge you for another month of service.
  • Unless you cancel your membership, it will most likely renew.
  • You can keep using a paid membership after canceling it until the next paying date.
  • If you decide to cancel a subscription during a free trial period, you may lose instant access to your membership or, in other cases, some features.
  • Make a list of all the apps that require a subscription and write down the expiration date for each one in your notes gallery.
  • Set a reminder on your calendar for a week before each app’s expiration date.
  • Finally, you should always contact customer service if you have any problems or questions about your subscription.

Your subscriptions may expire for a few reasons:

  • You didn’t renew your subscription before it expired.
  • Your subscription expired because you didn’t meet the eligibility requirements.
  • You canceled your subscription.

Conclusion

Though you can manually unsubscribe from some services on your iPhone, you cannot remove a few; removing expired subscriptions is one of them. However, canceling active subscriptions from your iPhone is possible.

It can be tricky to keep track of all your subscriptions and even harder when one of them expires. If you’re not sure how to remove an expired subscription from your iPhone, don’t worry – we’ve got you covered.

You can still view the list of all your active and inactive subscriptions by following a few steps, as shown above. With this guide, you should be able to get the job done in no time to get on with your day.
