Hi this is Gary with MacMost.com.
Let me show you how you can view, change, and cancel subscriptions on your Mac, iPhone,
and iPad.
MacMost is brought to you thanks to a great group of supporters.
Go to MacMost.com/patreon.
There you can read more about it, join us and get exclusive content.
So there are a lot of different services that you could subscribe to on your Mac or iOS
device.
For instance you can subscribe to Apple services, like Apple News+, Apple TV+, Apple Arcade.
You can also get iCloud storage subscriptions.
You can also subscribe to subscriptions inside of third party apps that you get in the App
Store.
There's a place you can go to on your Mac and one you can go to on your iPhone or iPad
where you can view all your subscriptions and manage them or cancel them.
So there are two ways to get to your Subscriptions on your Mac in macOS Catalina.
One is to go to the App Store app.
Once you're in there click on the icon that represents You, and it should have your name
and any available balance in the bottom left hand corner.
Then you'll see your account information including all of the apps that you've purchased.
Click on View Information next.
Now scroll down and under Manage you'll see Subscriptions.
You can see I have six here.
Click the Manage button to go to that screen.
This lists all of your active subscriptions and ones that have expired as well.
Now click on Edit, next to any of these, will allow you to change your options.
What you get then depends on the type of subscription.
For instance for Apple Music here, when I click Edit, I can switch from Family, Individual,
or to an Annual account.
Click the Back button at the bottom to go back.
If I go to Apple TV you'll see I can choose between the Monthly or Annual Plan.
I could see that my next billing date isn't until next year because I have the one year
free.
This is also where you can Cancel your free trial or your subscription.
Under Apple Arcade I can go in here and I can see that I've got the $5 a month subscription.
There's the Cancel button.
It tells me when my next billing date is going to be.
I see here's my Apple News subscription and it's Expired.
I canceled it.
I can go into Edit here and I can resubscribe very easily.
Now the other way to get to that is to go into System Preferences and then go to Apple
ID.
Then click on Media & Purchases.
There you'll see a button for Subscriptions.
Click that and it takes you to the same place in the App Store app.
The one subscription that you won't see there is your iCloud Storage subscription.
Go to System Preferences and then to Apple ID.
Then at the bottom you'll see iCloud Storage and a Manage button.
Click that and you'll see a summary of how you're using your iCloud Storage.
There will be a change of storage plan here.
If you click that then you'll see your current plan, you'll see your upgrade options, and
also you can click this button for downgrade options.
So what about on your iPhone or iPad.
Well, it's in a similar place.
Go into the App Store app.
Then you want to look for the icon that represents You.
In this case it's at the top right corner.
Tap that and you'll get to your Account page.
Now you'll see Subscriptions right there.
It's easy to get to.
Tap Subscriptions and you'll see the same list that see on your Mac.
If you tap any one of these to see all of the same options.
So you can cancel, you can switch the type of subscription, you can renew subscriptions
that you've canceled in the past, and everything is pretty much the same.
To get to your iCloud Storage Settings you want to go into Settings and then tap on your
ID at the top.
Then go to iCloud and then Manage Storage.
In there you'll see Change Storage Plan.
Tap that and it looks pretty similar.
You've got your current plan, you can upgrade, and you have downgrade options as well.
