Looking to cancel ExpressVPN on your iPhone? Whether you're on a trial, testing the service, or simply no longer need VPN protection on iOS, this guide will walk you through the process. Canceling a subscription on an iPhone differs from desktop methods because it goes through Apple’s App Store, not ExpressVPN’s website directly.
Why You Might Cancel ExpressVPN on iPhone
Here are some common reasons users choose to cancel:
- You no longer need VPN access on your iOS device.
- You found another VPN app with better pricing or features.
- You’re testing multiple services and want to avoid charges.
- Technical issues or performance problems on your iPhone.
Steps to Cancel ExpressVPN via Apple Subscriptions
ExpressVPN subscriptions purchased on an iPhone are managed through Apple. Follow these steps to cancel:
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
- Tap on your name at the top (Apple ID section).
- Select Subscriptions.
- Find and tap on ExpressVPN.
- Tap Cancel Subscription.
- Confirm when prompted.
Your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle, and you won’t be charged further.
Understanding the Refund Policy
Apple manages billing for all App Store purchases, including ExpressVPN on iPhone. To request a refund:
- Go to Official Sites.
- Sign in with your Apple ID.
- Locate the ExpressVPN subscription and choose “Request a Refund.”
- Follow the on-screen steps and submit your request.
Apple usually processes refund requests within 3 to 7 business days, but approval is not guaranteed. It helps to submit your request soon after cancellation.
Can You Cancel from the ExpressVPN App Directly?
No. If you subscribed through the App Store, you can’t cancel directly from the ExpressVPN app or website. All iOS subscriptions are controlled by Apple.
Need Help Cancelling?
If you're having trouble with any step, or need clarification about your account, contact the official ExpressVPN support. Their 24/7 helpline is fast and reliable, especially if you didn’t subscribe via the App Store and need direct cancellation support.
What Happens After Cancellation?
After canceling:
- Your VPN connection remains active until the end of your billing cycle.
- You will not be charged in the next cycle unless you re-subscribe.
- Your app data and preferences remain stored locally on your device.
Final Thoughts
Cancelling ExpressVPN on iPhone is a simple process if done through Apple’s subscription settings. Always check your subscription renewal date and act promptly to avoid unwanted charges. If you're still within the first few days, request a refund quickly through Apple support.
