HOW TO Manage Apple and app subs

1 Check how you’re billed

Not sure whether you pay for a subscription through your Apple ID? The first place to look is Settings > [your name] > iTunes & App Store. Tap your Apple ID there, then View Apple ID. Scroll down to and tap Subscriptions.

2 Manage Apple subs

The subscriptions you’re most likely to see on this page are those for Apple’s own services, specifically Music and News+. Tap a service to (where applicable) adjust your price tier, or to cancel the service.

3 App subscriptions

Third–party apps can offer various kinds of service as a sub — Dropbox, say. If you set up one within its app originally, not on its website, it should be listed here — and can be cancelled from the options shown after you tap it.

4 Outside Apple’s control

Subs bought by other means aren’t shown here, and likely won’t in their app either. Inspect your bank account; manage payments on corresponding sites, like myaccount.google.com for Google One cloud storage (as shown).

5 Paying for iCloud space?

If you’ve raised the storage limit on your iCloud account, the recurring payment for it isn’t listed in the same place. Go to Settings > [your name] > iCloud, tap Manage Storage near the top, then tap Change Storage Plan.

6 Reduce iCloud spend

Tap Downgrade Options to reduce your monthly iCloud bill. If you pick a lower tier than can hold your current data, iOS warns (when you tap Done) to either pick a higher tier or delete some iCloud data before a certain date.
