Troubleshooting
I can’t find the Cancel button on X.com. You probably subscribed through Apple or Google. Cancel in Settings → Subscriptions on iOS or in Google Play → Subscriptions on Android. (Apple Support)
The app won’t let me cancel. That’s expected—X requires you to manage the subscription on the platform where you bought it (Apple, Google, or X.com). Try a desktop browser if you paid on the web. (Help Center)
Do I have to cancel 24 hours before renewal? X advises canceling at least 24 hours before the auto-renewal period to avoid the next charge. (Help Center)
I canceled but still see Premium features. You’ll retain features until your current term ends. If things look inconsistent (e.g., Apple shows canceled but X still thinks you’re Premium), waiting until the end date usually resolves it. If not, contact Apple/Google support or DM @Premium on X for help. (Apple Support Community)
What if I deactivate my X account?Deactivation doesn’t cancel store-billed subscriptions. Subscriptions purchased on x.com auto-cancel after deactivation; iOS/Android purchases must be canceled with Apple/Google. (Help Center)
