HOW TO Manage Apple and app subs
App subscriptions
Third–party apps can offer various kinds
of service as a sub — Dropbox, say. If you set up
one within its app originally, not on its website,
it should be listed here — and can be cancelled
from the options shown after you tap it.
Paying for iCloud space?
If you’ve raised the storage limit on
your iCloud account, the recurring payment for
it isn’t listed in the same place. Go to Settings
[your name] > iCloud, tap Manage Storage
near the top, then tap Change Storage Plan.
Outside Apple’s control
Subs bought by other means aren’t
shown here, and likely won’t in their app either.
Inspect your bank account; manage payments
on corresponding sites, like myaccount.google.
com for Google One cloud storage (as shown).Reduce iCloud spend
Tap Downgrade Options to reduce your
monthly iCloud bill. If you pick a lower tier than
can hold your current data, iOS warns (when
you tap Done) to either pick a higher tier or
delete some iCloud data before a certain date.JARGON BUSTERFamily Sharing is an iCloud
