How to cancel YouTube Premium

Cancel on the web or in the YouTube app
- Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships (or in the app: profile picture → Purchases and memberships).

You may be offered a pause instead — choose cancel if you want to stop paying.
If you pay through Apple (iPhone, iPad)
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top, then tap Subscriptions.
- Tap the subscription you want to cancel.

If you don’t see a Cancel button, the subscription is already cancelled and will end on the date shown.
