Hey everyone.
I'm Max Dalton, and in this video I'll show you how to cancel a YouTube Premium subscription.
This is also the same process you'll use if you want to cancel a YouTube Premium free
trial.
YouTube Premium is great for heavy consumers of either YouTube or YouTube Music.
YouTube Premium removes ads from those services, lets you listen on a mobile device while YouTube
or YouTube Music is running in the background, lets you download videos to watch offline,
and more.
If you gave YouTube Premium a try but don't feel like it's right for you, cancelling your
subscription is easy.
In this video I'll walk you through how to cancel YouTube Premium in both the YouTube
mobile app for iPhone, iPad and Android devices, and also through the YouTube.com website.
First, let's walk through how to cancel YouTube Premium in the YouTube mobile app on an iPhone,
iPad or Android device.

Launch the YouTube mobile app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device.
You'll land on your YouTube home screen.
Step 2.

that subscription that identifies the date you've paid for YouTube Premium through.
