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 you pay for monthly, apps with free trials that will start charging, and anything else that renews automatically. This is the single place Apple shows all your recurring charges, regardless of which app store or service you signed up through.
The list shows what you are paying for, how much each costs, and when the next charge happens. If you do not see Subscriptions in your account menu, you may be running an older version of iOS. Update to the latest version through Settings > General > Software Update, then try again.
Key Takeaways
- Your complete subscription list lives in Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions on any iPhone running iOS 13 or newer.
- The Subscriptions screen shows the cost, renewal date, and status of every recurring charge linked to your Apple ID.
- Subscriptions you started in the App Store, through Apple TV+, Apple Music, and iCloud+ all appear in the same list.
- Tapping any subscription shows options to change your plan, turn off auto-renewal, or cancel entirely.
What the Subscriptions screen actually shows you
Each subscription entry displays the app or service name, the price you pay, and the renewal date. A label underneath tells you whether it is active, whether a free trial is running, or whether you have already turned off auto-renewal (meaning it will expire on a specific date but will not charge again). Tap any subscription to see more details: the exact date it renews, the plan you are on, and buttons to manage it.
Some subscriptions show a status like "Free Trial" or "Expires on [date]". Free Trial means you are not being charged yet, but a charge will start on the date shown. Expires on [date] means you have already turned off auto-renewal, so the subscription will stop working after that date and will not charge you again. Active subscriptions with no label are charging you on the renewal date shown.
Subscriptions that may not appear in this list
The Subscriptions screen in Settings shows only charges billed through Apple — meaning through the App Store, Apple's own services, or apps that use Apple's payment system. If you signed up for a subscription directly through a website or an app's own payment method (not through Apple), it will not appear here. For example, a Netflix subscription you started on Netflix.com or a Spotify subscription you manage through Spotify's website will not show in this list.
To find those subscriptions, you need to log into each service's website or app directly and check your account settings. Many apps do show a link to their subscription management page within the app itself — look for Account, Settings, or Subscription in the app's menu. If you are unsure whether a charge is going through Apple or directly through the company, check your credit card or bank statement to see which entity is charging you.
How to see your subscription history and past charges
From the Subscriptions screen, tap See All at the top to view subscriptions you have cancelled in the past. This shows subscriptions that are no longer active but were linked to your Apple ID at some point. Scroll down to see the full history, which can help you remember what you signed up for or spot charges you do not recognize.
To see the actual charges on your account, go to Settings > [Your Name] > Media & Purchases > Purchase History. This shows every transaction tied to your Apple ID, including app purchases, in-app purchases, and subscription charges. You can filter by date or search for a specific charge. If you see a charge you did not make, you can report it to Apple through this screen or contact Apple Support directly.
Checking subscriptions on a shared family account
If you use Family Sharing, each family member has their own subscriptions tied to their own Apple ID. You can only see your own subscriptions in your own Settings. If you are the family organizer and need to see what someone else is subscribed to, they must share that information with you — you cannot view it directly through Settings.
However, if a family member is using your payment method for their subscriptions, those charges will appear on your credit card or bank statement. If you want to track what is being charged to your account, ask family members to show you their Subscriptions screen, or review your billing statements regularly. Some families use a shared spreadsheet or notes app to keep track of who is paying for what.
Why a subscription might not show up even though you are being charged
If you are seeing charges on your credit card or bank statement but cannot find the subscription in Settings, the charge may be coming from a company that does not use Apple's billing system. Check the name of the company on your statement — if it is not Apple, the App Store, or a well-known Apple service like Apple Music, the subscription was likely set up outside of Apple's system.
Another possibility is that the subscription was set up on a different Apple ID. If you have multiple Apple IDs or recently changed the email address associated with your account, check whether you are logged into the right one. Go to Settings > [Your Name] and look at the email address shown at the top — that is the Apple ID you are currently using. If you think a subscription is tied to a different Apple ID, you may need to sign out and sign back in with that account to see it.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I see subscriptions from my old iPhone on my new one?
Yes. As long as you sign into your new iPhone with the same Apple ID you used on the old one, all your subscriptions will appear in Settings > Subscriptions. They are tied to your Apple ID, not to the physical phone. If you set up your new iPhone from a backup of your old one, subscriptions will transfer automatically.
What if I see a subscription I do not remember signing up for?
Tap it in the Subscriptions list to see when it started and what it costs. If you did not authorize it, you can turn off auto-renewal when ready so it will not charge again. Then contact Apple Support to report the charge and request a refund. Keep the subscription details handy when you contact them.
Do free trials show up in my Subscriptions list?
Yes. Any free trial linked to your Apple ID appears in Subscriptions with a "Free Trial" label and the date the trial ends. That is when the charge will start unless you turn off auto-renewal before that date. Turning it off during the trial means you keep access until the trial ends, then the subscription stops.
Why does my subscription show "Expires on [date]" instead of a price?
That means you have already turned off auto-renewal. The subscription will stop working on that date and will not charge you again. If you change your mind and want to keep it, tap the subscription and select the option to turn auto-renewal back on.
Can I change my subscription plan from the Subscriptions screen?
Yes. Tap any subscription and you will see options to change your plan — for example, upgrading from a monthly to an annual plan, or switching between different tiers. The changes take effect when ready, and your next charge date may shift depending on what you choose.
