How Do I Cancel My Free Trial Of Youtube Premium
Okay, so you bravely ventured into the land of ad-free viewing with a YouTube Premium free trial. Awesome! But maybe you've realized that you actually enjoy those quirky ads (said no one ever… mostly) or that binge-watching cat videos is expensive.
Fear not, intrepid adventurer! Canceling your YouTube Premium trial is easier than finding a decent parking spot downtown. We are diving into the steps now!
On Your Computer (Desktop or Laptop)
First, fire up your trusty computer. Because who uses a carrier pigeon these days?
Must Read
Next, head over to the YouTube website. It's that little red rectangle with the play button that has probably consumed a significant portion of your life.
Look for your profile picture. It's usually chilling in the top right corner of the screen, patiently awaiting your command.
Click on it! A magical menu appears, like a genie granting your wish for fewer ads (ironic, right?).
Navigating the Menu
In that menu, you will find a lot of choices. But click on "Purchases and memberships".
Then, you will find YouTube Premium listed as an active membership. It should be right there staring back at you. Kind of like that pile of laundry you've been meaning to tackle.
See that "Manage membership" option? Click it! This is where the fun begins!
You'll see a bunch of options relating to your YouTube Premium membership. Don't get overwhelmed! Just look for the "Deactivate" or "Cancel membership" button.
Go ahead and click it! Brace yourself because YouTube doesn’t want you to leave!
Confirming Your Escape
YouTube will probably ask you if you're absolutely, positively sure you want to cancel. They might even try to guilt trip you with promises of continued ad-free bliss. Don't fall for it!
They may ask you a few questions. Select your reason for cancelling (even if it's just "I like watching ads, weirdly enough").
Click "Cancel membership" one last time. You've done it! You've successfully escaped the clutches of ad-free paradise (or at least temporarily).
On Your Phone (Android or iOS)
Grab your phone. You know, that rectangular portal to the world that you can't live without?
Open the YouTube app. Hopefully, you remember where it is among all those other apps.
Tap on your profile picture. It's usually in the top right corner again, just like on the computer.
Mobile Menu Maneuvers
Tap on "Purchases and memberships". See the pattern here?
Find YouTube Premium on the list. Are you seeing it?
Tap on "Manage membership." Here we go again.
Tap on "Deactivate" or "Cancel membership." They might use slightly different wording depending on your device.
Final Confirmation (Mobile Edition)
Again, YouTube might try to change your mind, maybe even offer you a discount. Stay strong!
Confirm your cancellation by following the prompts. They'll probably ask for your reason and then make you tap "Cancel membership" one more time, just for good measure.
You are free! Congratulations on successfully canceling your YouTube Premium free trial! Now go forth and enjoy your regularly scheduled ad breaks (or not!).
Enjoy the feeling of digital freedom! You conquered the cancellation process!
Now you can use that extra cash to buy that new coffee maker you wanted.
