You deleted the app and assumed the subscription was gone with it. No app, no service, no more payments. Then a charge appeared anyway.
This happens because app deletion does not cancel an active subscription. The billing relationship continues separately from the app itself.
Removing an app only deletes the software, not the subscription.
Why Charges Continue After App Deletion
- Subscriptions are linked to your account, not the app
- Deleting an app does not send a cancellation request
- Billing is controlled by the app store or service platform
- Auto-renewal remains active unless manually canceled
- No cancellation confirmation was ever issued
Where the Subscription Is Actually Managed
- Apple App Store subscription settings
- Google Play subscription management
- The service’s official website account page
- The email address used during signup
What to Do If You Already Deleted the App
- Open your app store subscription list
- Cancel the active subscription directly
- Confirm the end date and renewal status
- Save the cancellation confirmation
App deletion only removes access, not billing. Until the subscription itself is canceled, charges will continue.
