Cancel Snapchat+ on iPhone
Open Settings on your iPhone
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. This is the gray gear icon on your home screen. Snapchat+ can only be canceled through Apple's subscription management, not through the Snapchat app itself.
Tap your name at the top
At the very top of the Settings screen, tap your name (Apple Account). This opens your Apple ID settings where you can manage all your subscriptions, payment methods, and account details.
Tap Subscriptions
Scroll down and tap Subscriptions. You will see a list of all your active and expired subscriptions managed through your Apple account. Find Snapchat in the list and tap on it.
Tap Cancel Subscription
Tap Cancel Subscription (or Cancel Free Trial if you are still on a trial). Confirm the cancellation when prompted. Your Snapchat+ features will remain active until the end of your current billing period, and you will not be charged again.
Deleting the app does NOT cancel your subscription
Simply deleting the Snapchat app from your phone will not stop the recurring charges. You must cancel through your Apple or Google subscription settings. If you have already deleted the app but not canceled the subscription, you are still being charged each billing cycle.
Cancel Snapchat+ on Android
Cancel via Google Play Store
- 1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- 2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner
- 3. Tap Payments & subscriptions
- 4. Tap Subscriptions to see your active subscriptions
- 5. Find and tap Snapchat in the list
- 6. Tap Cancel subscription and confirm when prompted
Cancel free trials early to avoid charges
If you signed up for a Snapchat+ free trial, make sure to cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends. If you do not cancel in time, you will be automatically charged for the first billing period. You can cancel immediately after starting a trial and still use Snapchat+ for the remaining trial period.
What Happens After You Cancel Snapchat+?
Features remain active until billing period ends
After canceling, you continue to have access to all Snapchat+ features until the end of your current billing period. You will not be charged for the next cycle. The exact end date is shown in your app store subscription settings.
You lose custom app icons and badge
The custom Snapchat app icons revert to the default yellow icon once your subscription expires. The Snapchat+ star badge next to your name in chats and stories is also removed. Your profile returns to the standard Snapchat appearance.
Story rewatch and best friends features disappear
You will no longer be able to see who rewatched your stories, pin a best friend as your BFF, use priority story replies, or access other exclusive Snapchat+ features. The story rewatch indicator and friend solar system will no longer appear.
Your Snapchat account remains intact
Canceling Snapchat+ does not delete your Snapchat account. All your snaps, chats, memories, friends, and streaks remain untouched. You simply lose access to the premium features and return to the standard free Snapchat experience.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does deleting the Snapchat app cancel Snapchat+?
No. Deleting the Snapchat app from your phone does not cancel your Snapchat+ subscription. You will continue to be charged each billing cycle until you manually cancel through your Apple or Google subscription settings. This is the most common mistake people make.
Can I get a refund for Snapchat+?
Snapchat does not process refunds directly since all billing goes through Apple or Google. To request a refund, you must contact Apple (reportaproblem.apple.com) or Google Play (play.google.com/store/account). Approval depends on each platform's refund policy and is not guaranteed.
What Snapchat+ features will I lose?
You will lose access to all premium features including: custom app icons, the Snapchat+ badge, story rewatch indicator, best friend solar system, priority story replies, custom notification sounds, extended streak restore, and any other Snapchat+ exclusive features that may have been added since your subscription started.
Can I cancel Snapchat+ from within the Snapchat app?
The Snapchat app may have a link in Settings that takes you to your app store's subscription management page, but the actual cancellation must happen through Apple Settings or the Google Play Store. Snapchat itself cannot cancel the subscription because it is managed entirely by the app store.
Will I lose my Snapchat streaks if I cancel Snapchat+?
No. Canceling Snapchat+ does not affect your streaks, friends list, chat history, or any other core Snapchat features. The only thing you lose is the Snapchat+ premium features. However, you will lose the extended streak restore feature, meaning future broken streaks may be harder to recover.
