Cancel Your Apple News+ Trial To Save $9.99 -- Here’s How

Apple’s news subscription service, Apple News+, provides subscribers with access to articles and reading materials normally published in 300 popular magazines, newspapers and journals like The Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker, Vanity Fair. It is a great service for those who love to read.

Apple launched the premium news service in March 25, giving all who are interested a free trial that runs for a month. Unlike the Apple News app that allows users to read news stories for free, Apple News+ is a paid subscription that will charge subscribers a monthly fee.

Once the trial period ends, the plan automatically renews to become a paid subscription. U.S. subscribers will need to pay $9.99 per month, while subscribers in Canada will also need to pay $12.99 per month to enjoy the service.

Canceling your subscription

If you’re one of those who signed up for the free trial, but do not want to pay the said amount every month, you can cancel your Apple News+ subscription and save yourself from this monthly expense by following these instructions, courtesy of CNBC.

First, open the Apple News+ app on your iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Next, tap the Menu button located on the top-left side of the Apple News+ app.

After opening the Menu, scroll to the bottom and look for the option that says “Manage Subscriptions.” Then, scroll to the Apple News+ subscription. Tap on it, and then tap “Cancel free trial” once you see it.

What canceling your subscription does

Canceling your subsciption to Apple News+ does the following:

First, you will automatically lose access to Apple News+ and the content it offers. You can still access the free content available via Apple News, but all the premium content from the Los Angeles Times and The Wall Street Journal, for example, will become inaccessible to you.

Second, you won’t have to worry about paying the monthly subscription fee. This will save you $9.99 per month but, as mentioned, will result to losing access to premium content that will cost more than when subscribing to each individual magazine or news service.

Those who cancel their Apple News+ subscription can still subscribe in the future if they wish to do so.
