How do renewal reminders work?

Pro users can set renewal reminders for their subscriptions. Suprascribe will notify you through email before a renewal date so you have time to decide whether to keep or cancel the service.

How do I cancel a subscription I forgot about?

Once Suprascribe discovers or you add a subscription, you can view the service name and billing details. Pro users get access to quick unsubscribe assistance to help navigate cancellation. For many services, going directly to the provider's account settings is the fastest route - Suprascribe gives you the information you need to do that.

Where do I cancel YouTube Premium if I subscribed on my phone?

In the store that bills you, not on YouTube. iOS signups are cancelled in Settings, your name, Subscriptions; Google Play signups are cancelled in the Play Store. Only a subscription taken out on the web is cancelled at youtube.com/paid_memberships via Manage membership, then Deactivate.

Do I lose YouTube Music when I cancel YouTube Premium?

Yes - YouTube Music Premium is part of the Premium membership, so ad-free and background music go with it. If music is the part you actually use, check whether you are also paying for Spotify or Apple Music; overlapping music subscriptions are one of the most common duplicates people find.

When does YouTube Premium actually stop?

At the end of the current billing period. Deactivating stops the next charge but leaves your benefits running until the date you have already paid through, so there is no advantage in waiting until the last day to cancel.

Cancel YouTube Premium in 2026 (Web, iPhone, Android)

Part of Cancel Subscriptions You Forgot You Had: The Full Playbook

YouTube Premium can be cancelled in a few clicks, but the exact page depends on whether you signed up on YouTube, in the iOS app, or through Google Play. Here is the verified path for each.

YouTube Premium and YouTube Music Premium share the same membership system, so the cancellation steps are identical. The only thing that changes is the platform that took your payment.

Where to cancel YouTube Premium, by billing route
Where you signed up	Where to cancel
YouTube on the web	youtube.com/paid_memberships → Manage membership → Deactivate
The YouTube iOS app	Settings → [your name] → Subscriptions → YouTube Premium
The YouTube Android app	Play Store → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions

Cancel on the Web (Verified from YouTube Help)

Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships while signed in
Click "Manage membership"
Click "Deactivate"
Click "Continue" to cancel
Select a reason and click "Next"
Click "Yes, cancel"

Cancel on iPhone (Apple Billing)

If you joined through the YouTube iOS app, Apple is your billing provider and the subscription lives in your Apple Account:

Open Settings and tap your name at the top
Tap "Subscriptions"
Tap YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium
Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm

Cancel on Android (Google Play Billing)

If you joined through the YouTube Android app, Google Play handles the billing:

Open the Play Store and sign in with the correct Google account
Go to Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
Tap YouTube Premium or YouTube Music Premium
Tap "Cancel subscription" and follow the prompts

What Happens After You Cancel

Your Premium benefits continue until the end of the current billing period
You will not be charged again unless you re-subscribe
Your playlists, subscriptions, and watch history stay in your Google account
Any downloaded videos will become unavailable when the membership ends

Watch for Overlapping Music Subscriptions

YouTube Music Premium is often held alongside Spotify, Apple Music, or Amazon Music. A single list of every recurring charge and its renewal date is how you spot the overlap you would otherwise pay for indefinitely.

If YouTube Premium is part of a wider clear-out, Quick Unsubscribe takes you straight to the cancel page for each service in your list.
