Bruh. Are you actually serious?
Settings → Apple ID / iCloud → Subscriptions
or
App Store → Your Account → Subscriptions
Such sUrPrIsInG, much hArD. In any case, if you feel that’s difficult now imagine how insurmountably Herculean it will become for you if you had to navigate the UX of multiple payment providers.

Apple has always immediately refunded me for shitty apps and scummy services, without question.
Meanwhile apps that provide their own payment systems, like Couchsurfing (who bait-and-switched users even after charging them a $100 “forever fee”), have yet to even reply to my requests for a refund.
Apple also lets me see all my recurring subscriptions from one place, warns me before renewals, and amazingly, lets me keep access to services for a few days even if I can’t make a payment on the renewal date.
So yeah. If you think predators like Epic and Match/Tinder and the countless microtransaction games (with their placebo IAPs and gambling boxes that do literally nothing at all sometimes) will be as accommodating, oh boy.
But of course user-hostile devs would root for nothing more than to tear down the walls protecting users.
- julienfr112 5y agowhy "settings" ? a subscription is not a "setting".
- Razengan 5y agoReally? Talk about straws. “Settings” is the unified app for configuring all the shit on iOS, including Apple ID and payments etc. The same option is also available in the App Store app as well. Where else exactly would you prefer it to be?
