Will I lose access immediately?

No. Your Spotify Premium features remain active until the end of your current billing period. After that, your account automatically switches to the free tier with ads and no offline listening. If you cancel during a free trial, however, your access ends immediately.

Can I pause instead of canceling?

Spotify does not currently offer a built-in pause feature for individual plans. However, Spotify may present a pause option as a retention offer when you attempt to cancel. If you decline, you can always resubscribe later.

What happens to my playlists and saved music?

Spotify keeps your playlists, saved songs, and listening history when you switch to the free tier. You can still log in and stream with ads. Downloaded offline tracks will no longer be accessible until you resubscribe.

How do I know which billing method I used?

Check your email for past Spotify receipts — they indicate whether you were billed by Spotify, Apple, or Google. You can also visit spotify.com/account and look at the Payment section to see your billing source.

Can I cancel Spotify for someone else?

Only the account holder or plan manager can cancel. If you are a member of a Family or Duo plan, you can remove yourself from the plan, but only the plan manager can cancel the entire subscription.

What if I can't cancel online?

If you are having trouble canceling through the website or app store, contact Spotify Support through their [online chat](https://support.spotify.com/us/article/contact-us/). Spotify does not offer phone support, but their chat agents can process the cancellation for you.

Go to Spotify cancellation page

Opens in a new tab — sign in and follow the steps below

On Spotify.com

The fastest way to cancel Spotify Premium is through their website. Your Premium features stay active until the end of your current billing period, and your account reverts to the free tier after that.

1Go to Your Spotify Account

Open a web browser and navigate to spotify.com/account. You can do this from any computer or mobile browser.

2Sign In

Log in with the email address and password tied to your Spotify account. If you use social login (Facebook, Apple, or Google), select the corresponding sign-in option.

3Open Your Plan Settings

On the Account Overview page, scroll down to the Your plan section. Click Manage your plan to view your current subscription details and billing date.

4Select Change Plan

Click Change plan to see all available plan options. This is where Spotify lists its tiers, including the option to downgrade or cancel entirely.

5Cancel Your Plan

Scroll to the bottom of the plan options and select Cancel Premium. Spotify may offer you a discount or suggest a pause instead — skip these if you want to fully cancel. Confirm by clicking Yes, cancel.

6Verify the Cancellation

You should see a confirmation message stating when your Premium access ends. Spotify will also send a confirmation email to your registered address. Your Premium features remain available until the next billing date.

If you're the manager of a Family or Duo plan, canceling removes Premium for all members on the plan. Let everyone on the plan know before you cancel. Individual plan members cannot cancel the plan — only the plan manager can.

On the App Store (iOS)

If you subscribed to Spotify through the Apple App Store, you must cancel through Apple's subscription settings. The Spotify app and website cannot process the cancellation for you.

1Open iPhone Settings

Tap the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad. This is the gray gear icon found on your home screen.

2Tap Your Apple ID

At the top of the Settings menu, tap your name and Apple ID banner. This opens your Apple ID account management screen.

3Select Subscriptions

Tap Subscriptions from the list. You will see all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.

4Select Spotify

Find Spotify in your list of active subscriptions and tap it. If Spotify does not appear here, your subscription is billed directly by Spotify, not Apple.

5Cancel the Subscription

Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen and confirm when prompted. Your Spotify Premium access continues until the end of the current Apple billing cycle.

After canceling through Apple, your Spotify account is not deleted. It automatically switches to the free tier once the billing period ends. You keep all your playlists and saved music.

On Google Play (Android)

If you subscribed to Spotify through Google Play, you need to cancel through Google's subscription settings. Canceling inside the Spotify app or on the Spotify website will not stop Google Play billing.

1Open Google Play Store

Launch the Google Play Store app on your Android device. You can also go to play.google.com/store/account/subscriptions in any web browser.

2Access Your Profile

Tap your profile icon in the top right corner of the Play Store to open the account menu.

3Go to Payments & Subscriptions

Select Payments & subscriptions from the menu, then tap Subscriptions. This displays all your active Google Play subscriptions.

4Select Spotify

Find Spotify in the subscriptions list and tap it. If Spotify is not listed, your billing is handled directly by Spotify or another provider.

5Cancel Your Subscription

Tap Cancel subscription and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Your Premium access remains active until the end of the current Google Play billing cycle.

If you subscribed through a mobile carrier or internet provider, neither Google Play nor Spotify can cancel it for you. Check your Payment settings page on Spotify for your provider's contact details and cancel through them directly.
