Cancel Lifesum on iPhone

1

Open Settings on your iPhone

Find that little gear icon that you probably ignore 99% of the time. Tap it open and then tap your name at the top of the screen (your Apple Account).

2

Tap Subscriptions

Scroll down and tap Subscriptions. This is where Apple keeps all the services that are quietly siphoning money from your bank account each month. Prepare yourself -- you might find a few surprises in there.

3

Find and tap Lifesum

Look for Lifesum in your list of active subscriptions. Tap on it to see your plan details and billing info.

4

Tap Cancel Subscription

Hit Cancel Subscription at the bottom and confirm when prompted. Your Premium features stay active until the end of your current billing period. Freedom from macro tracking has never felt so good.

Important: You must cancel through your app store (Apple or Google), not through the Lifesum app itself. Deleting the app will not cancel your subscription -- your wallet will keep getting lighter.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel Lifesum?

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google since Lifesum subscriptions go through app stores. Apple may offer a refund through reportaproblem.apple.com, and Google Play has a 48-hour refund window for subscriptions. After that, it is up to their discretion.

Does deleting the Lifesum app cancel my subscription?

No, absolutely not. This is one of the most common mistakes people make. Deleting the app just removes it from your phone -- your subscription keeps charging until you cancel it through your device settings. Think of it like canceling a gym membership: throwing away your gym bag does not stop the monthly charges.

Can I still use Lifesum after canceling Premium?

Yes. Lifesum has a free version with basic calorie tracking and food logging. You lose access to detailed meal plans, advanced nutrition insights, and Premium recipes, but the core tracking features still work.

Will I lose my food diary data if I cancel?

No. Your food diary, weight logs, and tracking history remain in your Lifesum account. If you resubscribe later, all your data will still be there. Lifesum is not going to delete your burrito evidence.

How do I know which store I subscribed through?

Check your email for a subscription confirmation from either Apple or Google. If you are on an iPhone and do not see Lifesum in your Apple subscriptions, try checking Google Play (or vice versa). You cancel through whichever store processed your original payment.
