Frequently Asked Questions
Does Inshorts have a premium subscription? ▼
Inshorts has offered premium and ad-free features through in-app purchases and subscriptions at various times. These are managed and billed through the Google Play Store or Apple App Store, not directly by Inshorts.
Will I lose access to news after cancelling? ▼
No, the core Inshorts news experience with 60-word summaries is free. Cancelling premium removes ad-free browsing and any exclusive premium features, but you can still read all the news content.
Can I get a refund for my Inshorts subscription? ▼
Refund requests must be submitted through Google Play (within 48 hours) or Apple (through the Report a Problem page at reportaproblem.apple.com). Inshorts cannot process refunds directly since billing is handled by the app stores.
Deleting the app cancels my subscription, right? ▼
No! Uninstalling the Inshorts app does NOT cancel your subscription. You will continue to be charged by Google Play or Apple until you explicitly cancel through your subscription settings.
