Where to find your subscriptions on iPhone

Open the Settings app on your iPhone and tap your name at the top of the screen. Then tap Subscriptions. You will see a list of every subscription tied to your Apple ID — apps, services, iCloud storage, Apple Music, anything you pay for on a recurring basis through Apple.

This is the single place Apple shows all your subscriptions in one view. If you signed up for something through the App Store, through an app itself, or through Apple's own services, it appears here. Subscriptions you pay for outside the Apple ecosystem — like a gym membership you manage on their website — will not show up in this list.

The list shows you the subscription name, the next billing date, and how much you pay. Subscriptions are sorted by status: active ones at the top, then expired or cancelled ones below.

Key Takeaways

  • All your App Store subscriptions appear in one place: Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions, sorted by active and inactive.
  • The subscription list shows your next billing date and the amount you pay, so you can spot charges you forgot about.
  • Subscriptions you pay for outside Apple — through a company's own website or app — do not appear in this list and must be managed separately.
  • Tapping a subscription shows you the renewal date, price, and a button to cancel or change your plan without leaving Settings.
  • If you see a subscription you do not recognize, check the renewal date before cancelling, because some services bill monthly and others annually.

What information you see for each subscription

When you tap a subscription name, the details screen shows you the renewal date, the price you pay, and whether you are on a free trial or a paid plan. Some subscriptions also show the plan tier — for example, whether you have Apple Music Individual or Apple Music Family.

You will also see a Cancel Subscription button (or Change Plan if the service offers multiple tiers). Below that, some subscriptions show a link to manage the service on the web — for example, a link to your Apple TV+ account page — but most do not.

The renewal date is the most important piece of information here. If you see a subscription you do not remember signing up for, check whether the renewal date is coming soon. If it is, you have a few days to cancel before the next charge hits your card.

Spotting subscriptions you may have forgotten about

Free trials are the most common reason people find unexpected subscriptions on this screen. You may have started a free trial for an app or service, used it once, and forgotten to cancel before the trial ended. The subscription then converts to a paid plan automatically.

Look for subscriptions with renewal dates in the next few days — those are the ones most likely to surprise you with a charge. If you see something you do not use, you can cancel it when ready without waiting for the renewal date.

Some subscriptions hide inside apps you still use. For example, a photo editing app might include a subscription for premium filters, or a fitness app might have a subscription for live classes. These do not always send reminders when the trial is ending, so checking this list every few months catches them before they renew.

Subscriptions that do not appear in this list

If you signed up for a subscription directly on a company's website — not through the App Store or an Apple app — it will not show in your iPhone Settings. This includes subscriptions to services like Netflix (if you signed up on netflix.com), Spotify (if you signed up on spotify.com), or a streaming service you pay for through your cable provider.

To find these subscriptions, you need to log into each service's website or app and check your account settings. Many companies have a Billing, Account, or Subscriptions section where you can see your renewal date and payment method.

If you are not sure whether a subscription goes through Apple or directly through the company, check your credit card or bank statement. The charge will show the company name or a shortened version of it — Apple charges appear as "APPLE.COM" or the specific service name like "APPLE MUSIC".

How to check your subscription history

The Subscriptions screen shows only your current subscriptions. If you want to see subscriptions you cancelled in the past, scroll down to the bottom of the list and tap See All under the "Expired" section. This shows subscriptions you no longer pay for, along with the date you cancelled them.

This history is useful if you cancelled something and want to restart it, or if you are trying to remember when you stopped paying for a service. However, it does not show you a complete record of every subscription you have ever had — only the ones from the past few months.

Checking subscriptions on a family plan

If you share an Apple ID with family members through Family Sharing, each person's subscriptions appear separately in their own Settings. You will only see subscriptions tied to your personal Apple ID, not subscriptions that other family members bought.

If you are the family organizer and want to see what subscriptions family members are paying for, you can ask them to show you their Subscriptions screen, or you can check your credit card statement to see charges from their accounts. Apple does not give organizers a master view of all family subscriptions.

What to do if you see an unfamiliar charge

If you see a subscription on this screen that you do not recognize, do not panic — you can cancel it when ready. Tap the subscription name, then tap Cancel Subscription. The cancellation takes effect right away, and you will not be charged again.

If you were charged for a subscription you did not authorize, or if you cancelled something but were still charged, contact Apple Support through Settings. Go to Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases > [Your Apple ID] > View Account, then scroll down and tap Report a Problem. Apple can refund unauthorized charges and help you find your account.

If the charge came from outside Apple — a company you paid directly — you will need to contact that company's customer service to dispute it. Check your credit card or bank statement to see which company made the charge, then look for their support page or phone number.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I see subscriptions from other people's iPhones on mine?

No. Each iPhone shows only the subscriptions tied to the Apple ID signed into that phone. If someone else uses your iPhone with their own Apple ID, their subscriptions will not appear in your Settings, and you will not see theirs. You can only see subscriptions you personally signed up for.

Why does a subscription still show up after I cancelled it?

If you cancelled a subscription but it still appears in your active list, try closing Settings completely and opening it again. Sometimes the list does not refresh when ready. If it still shows as active after a few minutes, contact Apple Support — the cancellation may not have gone through.

Do subscriptions I pay for with a gift card show up in this list?

Yes. Whether you pay with a credit card, debit card, or Apple gift card balance, all subscriptions tied to your Apple ID appear in the same Subscriptions screen. The payment method does not change where the subscription shows up.

What happens if my payment method expires while I have an active subscription?

Apple will try to charge your subscription to your expired payment method and will fail. You will see a notification asking you to update your payment information. If you do not update it within a certain time, your subscription will be paused or cancelled automatically, depending on the service.

Can I see how much I spent on subscriptions over time?

The Subscriptions screen does not show a spending history or total. To see what you have paid, check your credit card or bank statement, or go to Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases > [Your Apple ID] > View Account and look for purchase history. That shows individual charges but not a summary.
