You can cancel Snapchat Plus directly in the app on any device, and the charge stops at the end of your current billing cycle

Snapchat Plus is a paid subscription that costs $3.99 per month (or $39.99 per year if you chose annual billing). When you cancel, you keep access to Snapchat Plus features until your billing cycle ends — you are not cut off when ready. The cancellation itself takes less than a minute and happens entirely within the Snapchat app.

The steps differ slightly depending on whether you subscribed through iOS, Android, or web. Your payment method and billing date stay on file until the cycle completes, so you will see one final charge if you cancel mid-cycle. After that date passes, no further charges occur.

Key Takeaways

  • Open Snapchat, tap your profile icon, select "Snapchat Plus", then tap "Manage My Subscription" to reach the cancellation screen.
  • On iOS, you cancel through the App Store subscription settings; on Android, through Google Play; on web, through your Snapchat account settings.
  • Cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle, not when ready, so you will see one more charge if you cancel mid-month.
  • If you subscribed through a third party like Apple or Google, you must cancel through that platform's subscription manager, not through Snapchat itself.

Cancel Snapchat Plus on iPhone or iPad

On iOS, Snapchat Plus subscriptions are managed through Apple's App Store, not through Snapchat directly. Open the App Store app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select "Subscriptions". Find Snapchat Plus in the list and tap it. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the screen. Apple will ask you to confirm; tap "Confirm Cancellation". You will receive an email from Apple confirming the cancellation.

If you do not see Snapchat Plus in your subscriptions list, the subscription may have already been cancelled, or it may be registered under a different Apple ID. Check that you are signed into the correct Apple ID in Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases.

Cancel Snapchat Plus on Android

On Android, subscriptions are managed through Google Play. Open the Google Play app, tap your profile icon in the top right, then select "Manage subscriptions". Tap "Snapchat Plus" from the list. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm when Google Play asks you to. You will receive an email from Google confirming the cancellation.

If you subscribed through Samsung Galaxy Store instead of Google Play, open the Galaxy Store app, tap your profile icon, select "Subscriptions", find Snapchat Plus, and tap "Cancel". The process is the same, but the confirmation email will come from Samsung.

Cancel Snapchat Plus on Web or Desktop

If you subscribed through Snapchat's website rather than through an app store, you can cancel from your account settings. Go to snapchat.com and log in. Click your profile icon in the top right, then select "Settings". Scroll to "Subscriptions" and click "Manage". Click "Cancel Subscription" next to Snapchat Plus and confirm when prompted.

Web subscriptions are less common than app store subscriptions, but they work the same way: your access continues until the end of the current billing cycle, then stops.

What Happens After You Cancel

After cancellation, you keep all Snapchat Plus features — custom app icons, exclusive filters, priority support, and the ability to pin conversations — until your billing cycle ends. On the day your cycle ends, those features disappear and you return to the free version of Snapchat. Your regular Snapchat account, your friends list, and your saved messages are not affected.

If you change your mind before the cycle ends, you can resubscribe at any time. You will be charged when ready for a new month, and your access will continue uninterrupted. Snapchat does not offer refunds for partial months, so cancelling mid-cycle means you lose the unused portion of that month's payment.

If Your Cancellation Does Not Go Through

If you cancelled but still see a charge on your next billing date, the cancellation may not have processed. Check your subscription status again using the steps above — if Snapchat Plus still appears in your active subscriptions, repeat the cancellation process. Sometimes a network error or app glitch prevents the first attempt from going through.

If the subscription shows as cancelled but you were still charged, contact the payment processor directly: Apple Support for iOS, Google Play Support for Android, or your credit card company if you subscribed through the web. Provide them with your receipt or confirmation email and ask them to reverse the charge. Snapchat's support team can investigate, but the refund authority rests with the payment processor.

Preventing Accidental Resubscription

After you cancel, Snapchat may occasionally prompt you to resubscribe when you open the app. These are marketing prompts, not automatic charges — tapping "Not Now" or closing the prompt does nothing to your account. You will not be charged unless you explicitly tap "Subscribe" and confirm the purchase.

If you find the prompts annoying, you can turn off subscription notifications in your phone's settings. On iOS, go to Settings > Notifications > Snapchat and toggle off "Offers". On Android, open Settings > Apps > Snapchat > Notifications and disable "Promotions".

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I get a refund if I cancel mid-month?

No. Snapchat and the app stores do not offer refunds for unused portions of a subscription month. If you cancel on the 15th of a 30-day cycle, you lose the remaining 15 days of payment. Plan your cancellation for near the end of your billing cycle if you want to avoid wasting money.

Will cancelling Snapchat Plus delete my account?

No. Cancelling the subscription only removes the paid features. Your Snapchat account, messages, friends, and stories remain exactly as they are. You can still use Snapchat normally; you just lose access to Plus-only features like custom app icons and priority support.

What if I subscribed through a different payment method than I remember?

Check all three places: the App Store (iOS), Google Play (Android), and your Snapchat account settings (web). Your subscription will appear in whichever platform you used at purchase. If you still cannot find it, log into your payment method's website directly — Apple, Google, or your credit card company — and search for Snapchat in your active subscriptions.

Do I need to contact Snapchat support to cancel?

No. You can cancel entirely through the app store or your account settings without ever contacting Snapchat. Support is only necessary if a charge appears after you have cancelled and confirmed the cancellation went through.

Can I pause Snapchat Plus instead of cancelling?

Snapchat does not offer a pause feature. Your only options are to keep the subscription active or cancel it. If you think you might want it back soon, cancelling and resubscribing later is the same as pausing, except you lose access when ready rather than at the end of the cycle.
