True for every service

  • Deleting an app never cancels a subscription.
  • Check who bills you first (look at the receipt email): you cancel with whoever takes the money.
  • After cancelling, keep the confirmation email. If your account page still shows a next charge or payment date, the cancellation didn't go through.
