If you subscribed to a TikTok creator and no longer want to be charged, you may be wondering: how do you turn off a subscription on TikTok? You can cancel the subscription through the platform where you originally purchased it.
Here’s how to do it.
How to Cancel a TikTok Subscription
Step 1: Open TikTok
Open TikTok and make sure you’re logged into the account with the active subscription.
Step 2: Go to Your Profile
Tap Profile at the bottom of the screen.
Step 3: Open the Menu
Tap the three-line menu in the top-right corner.
Step 4: Check Your Subscription
Go to Settings and privacy and look for your subscription or LIVE subscription settings.
If your subscription is managed directly through TikTok, open it and look for an option to manage or cancel it.
Step 5: Cancel the Subscription
Tap Manage or Cancel subscription, then follow the instructions to confirm.
The exact menu can vary depending on your account, location, and TikTok version.
How to Cancel a TikTok Subscription on iPhone
If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, cancel it through your iPhone:
- Open Settings.
- Tap your Apple Account.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Find the TikTok subscription.
- Tap it.
- Select Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm the cancellation.
How to Cancel a TikTok Subscription on Android
If you subscribed through Google Play:
- Open the Google Play Store.
- Tap your profile picture.
- Select Payments & subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Select the TikTok subscription.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Follow the instructions to confirm.
What Happens When You Cancel?
Canceling normally stops the subscription from renewing automatically.
You may still have access to the subscription benefits until your current paid period ends.
For example, if you cancel a monthly subscription after you’ve already paid for that month, you may continue receiving the benefits until the end of that billing period.
Does Deleting TikTok Cancel the Subscription?
No.
Deleting the TikTok app does not normally cancel an active subscription.
You must cancel the subscription through TikTok, Apple, or Google Play, depending on where you purchased it.
What If You Can’t Find the Subscription?
If you can’t find the subscription inside TikTok, check your app store.
iPhone
Go to:
Settings → Apple Account → Subscriptions
Android
Go to:
Google Play → Profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions
Make sure you’re checking the same Apple or Google account used when you subscribed.
Can You Get a Refund After Canceling?
Canceling a subscription usually stops future charges but does not automatically refund a previous payment.
If you were charged unexpectedly and want a refund, you’ll generally need to request it through the payment platform that processed the transaction.
What If You’re Still Being Charged?
If you’ve canceled but continue seeing charges:
- Check that the subscription actually shows as canceled.
- Check the next renewal date.
- Make sure you’re using the correct Apple or Google account.
- Check your payment history.
- Contact the relevant payment provider if necessary.
Keep any cancellation confirmation for your records.
How to Make Sure the Subscription Is Off
After canceling, return to the subscription page and check its status.
You should see an indication that:
- The subscription is canceled, or
- Automatic renewal is turned off, or
- The subscription will expire on a specific date.
This confirms that another automatic payment shouldn’t be made.
