3. Select the entry [iTunes Store] and then [View account].
4. Now sign in with your Apple ID and password.
5. Click on the "Settings" section.
6. Under "Subscriptions", select the entry [Manage].
7. Now select the desired subscription and set the status for "Automatic renewal" to [Off].
8. Confirm the warning by clicking on [Continue]. You have now successfully canceled your subscription.

Cancel magazine subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad

If you do not currently have a PC available, you can also deactivate the magazine subscriptions on your iPhone or iPad:

1. Open the Settings app and switch to the [iTunes & App Store] tab.
2. There, tap your Apple ID at the top of the screen. A popup will open.
3. Select the entry [Show Apple ID] and enter your password.
4. Then tap [Manage] in the "Subscriptions" area.
5. Here you can see all subscribed magazines. Select your desired subscription and deactivate the blue slider (see screenshot). The subscription is now canceled.
