Users often make in-app purchases. As a matter of fact these in-app subscriptions are a common way for developers to ask users for some money to access the applications and services available in the App Store. It is vital for every iOS user to know the ways to manage the in-app subscriptions.

Understanding in-app purchase subscriptions in iOS



When you subscribe to any in-app purchase, it means that the charges recur after a period of time. As long as your subscription lasts, you will be able to use the app or service. When the subscription ends, you will have to renew it by paying the fees. Some app developers ask users to purchase a subscription to access certain advanced functionalities or features of the app.

Usually, the developers offer a free trial for a week or two. Also, the length of the subscription could be a year, a month, three months, and so on. Therefore, it is crucial to note down the subscription period while signing up. Go through the subscription terms and conditions rigorously before confirming the purchase.

How to cancel, downgrade or change an In-App subscription?

You can access the in-app subscriptions using multiple ways. But, if you want an effective method to cancel and manage your IAP subscriptions, then here are the steps:

1. Go to the Settings in your iPhone or iPad.
2. Tap on iTunes and App Store.
3. Go to your Apple ID.
4. Select View Apple ID.
5. Now, just authenticate your Apple ID using the iOS device's password, Face ID or Touch ID, if needed.
6. Choose Subscriptions from the list of options in the menu.
7. Now you will be able to see all the subscriptions.
8. Select any subscription to see the options available for the selected item.

Certain applications allow users to downgrade or switch the subscription type. All the apps allow users to cancel the subscription.

In the app details, users can see all the cross-grading and downgrading options that are presently available for the selected app.
To cancel the subscription, just hit the Cancel Subscription button.

If you have already been billed for the present time period, then you will not get any refund. You can still access the app/service/app features until the subscription expires.
