How To Cancel Spotify Premium On Iphone App 2020

Okay, let's be honest. We've all been there. Glued to our iPhones, realizing we're STILL paying for Spotify Premium.

And you're like, "Wait, didn't I cancel this last year? Or was that a fever dream fueled by too much avocado toast?" It's okay. It happens.

The good news? Escaping the Spotify Premium vortex on your iPhone in 2020 (yes, we're time-traveling!) isn't rocket science.

The Great Escape: iPhone Edition (circa 2020)

First things first: Brace yourselves. The Spotify app itself won't let you directly cancel. I know, I know, it's like they're actively trying to trap us in a world of ad-free bliss.

But fear not! There's a secret back door. Well, not that secret. But definitely not as obvious as it should be.

Option 1: The App Store Shuffle

Head on over to the App Store. Yes, the place where you download all those addictive games you swear you'll only play for five minutes.

Tap on your profile icon. It's usually in the top right corner. It might be your face, a random initial, or a blurry photo of your cat. Whatever floats your digital boat.

Now, find "Subscriptions." It's often lurking somewhere in the middle of the menu, disguised as something boring. Don't be fooled!

Behold! A list of all your active subscriptions will appear. Hopefully, Spotify Premium is on there, glaring at you accusingly.

Tap on Spotify. You should see an option to "Cancel Subscription." Proceed with caution... and maybe a tiny bit of guilt.

Confirm your cancellation. The App Store will probably try to guilt-trip you with a popup asking if you're sure. Stay strong!

Option 2: The Apple ID Adventure

If the App Store shuffle fails you (and sometimes it does, because technology), there's another path. It involves your Apple ID.

Go to your iPhone's settings. It's that little gear icon that often hides on the second or third page of your home screen.

Tap on your name at the very top. This will take you to your Apple ID settings.

Find "Subscriptions" again. It's like a game of hide-and-seek, but with your money on the line.

Follow the same steps as before: Tap on Spotify, then "Cancel Subscription," and then confirm your cancellation while ignoring Apple's desperate pleas.

Important Caveats (Because There Always Are)

Remember that your Spotify Premium will usually remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. So, enjoy those last few ad-free days!

Also, double-check which account you're canceling. Do you have Spotify Premium through Apple, or directly through Spotify's website?

If it's through the website, you'll need to log in to your Spotify account online and cancel there. It's a whole different adventure for another day.

Finally, prepare for the inevitable onslaught of Spotify emails trying to win you back. They're persistent, those Swedes!

So there you have it! You've successfully navigated the treacherous waters of canceling Spotify Premium on your iPhone in 2020. High five!

Now go forth and enjoy the sweet, sweet sound of...ads? Just kidding! Maybe invest in a good ad blocker. Or just, you know, listen to the birds.

Just remember, cancelling subscriptions can feel like a victory. You've reclaimed your money. You've conquered the algorithm. You are free!

Unless, of course, you immediately resubscribe. Which, let's be real, is a very real possibility.

Good luck, and may your future be filled with perfectly timed ad breaks...or not!
