Are you considering saying goodbye to your Spotify Premium subscription? Maybe you’re switching to a different music streaming service or just looking to trim down your monthly expenses. Whatever your reason, canceling your Spotify account is a straightforward process, but there are a few things you need to know to make sure it’s done right.
This step-by-step guide will walk you through canceling Spotify Premium on your desktop, mobile device, or tablet. We’ll also cover how to cancel if you subscribe through the App Store and discuss what happens to your account after cancellation. Plus, we’ll tell you how to reactivate Premium if you change your mind later.
Canceling Spotify Premium on Desktop or Mobile
1.
Access Your Account:
Open your preferred web browser and go to spotify.com/account. This will open the Account Overview section on Spotify’s website. Alternatively, if you use the Spotify desktop app, you can access your Account settings from the drop-down menu, which will also open a browser window and take you to the same page. Note: This cannot be done through the smartphone app.2.
Find Available Plans:
Once you’re on the Account Overview screen, select “Available Plans” from the sidebar on the left. A box will appear with information about your current membership and other available plans.3.
Choose Spotify Free:
Scroll down to the bottom of the box and find the option labeled “Spotify Free.” It’s at the very bottom. Click the large “Cancel Premium” button located below it.4.
Confirm Cancellation:
Confirm your decision by tapping “Continue to Cancel” and following through with the confirmation prompts. Remember that your membership won’t terminate immediately. You’ll have access to Premium until the end of your paid subscription period.5.
Android Device:
Canceling your Spotify account using an Android device is almost identical to the desktop process. You’ll need to do it through a web browser on your device.Canceling Spotify Premium on an iPhone or iPad
If you signed up for Spotify on your iPad or iPhone, you might have opted to have Apple bill you directly through the App Store. While convenient, this means canceling your Premium subscription will require a slightly different process using your iPhone or iPad.
1.
Navigate to Settings:
Open the Settings application on your iPad or iPhone and click on your name at the top to access your Apple ID.2.
Select Subscriptions:
From there, choose “Subscriptions.”3.
Cancel Subscription:
A list of all your monthly and yearly subscriptions will appear. Select Spotify and tap the button labeled “Cancel Subscription.” Once you click this, the renewal of your Premium membership will be terminated.After canceling, you’ll be able to continue using Premium until the date your next payment was scheduled. For example, if you canceled on September 3 but your membership wasn’t due for renewal until October 2, you can use it until October 2. However, Spotify does not offer refunds, even if you cancel before the renewal date and don’t plan to use it until then.
Deleting Your Spotify Account
After canceling your Premium subscription, you also have the option to delete your Spotify account entirely.
Reactivating Your Spotify Premium Account
If you decide you want to return to the Spotify platform, reactivating your account is even simpler than canceling it. Head to Spotify’s account page, where you should see your previous plan listed along with a “Renew” option. Simply click “Renew” and you’re good to go! You can also renew a Spotify Premium subscription through the App Store or Google Play Store.
