How can I cancel a subscription I bought through an app I deleted?

Our answer

Reinstall or access the original store account and cancel under Subscriptions; deleting the app never ends billing.

Why this approach makes sense

The key evidence is the actual transaction, account setting and provider terms. Written confirmation matters more than an assumed cancellation.

Before you try it

Keep receipts and confirmation emails, and check whether a renewal, refund or dispute deadline applies.
