I am on a free trial for a particular app and don’t wish to

continue, so how do I cancel the subscription? Steve Dobson

1

Open Settings

In the Settings app, tap

on your Apple ID at the top,

and you will see a section

on the next screen marked

‘Subscriptions’. Tap on this to

view all of the subscriptions

tied to your Apple ID.

2

Enable options

Pay attention to the

options on this next screen, as

they apply to Family Sharing

and receipts for subscription

renewals. Look under ‘Active’

for the subscription you wish to

cancel and then tap on it.

3

Tap to cancel

You will now see the

‘Cancel Subscription’ option,

that you can tap on to cancel

immediately. If there is still

some way to go to your next

billing date, hold off, but set a

Reminder to cancel before.

------------------------------

I heard that it is possible

to hide items in my Mac’s

System Preferences panel.

Is this actually possible?

Indeed it is. Open your

System Preferences and

then click on the ‘View’

item in your Mac’s menu

bar. If you then select the

‘Customise’ option from the

View menu, tick boxes will

appear next to each item

in the System Preferences

panel. Now just untick any

items that you don’t want

to see (the ones you never

use) and then go to View>

Customise again to untick

the option and save all of

your changes.
