You remember canceling the free trial.
You’re sure you tapped the cancel button.
So when a charge appears later, it feels wrong.
It feels like the system ignored your choice.
In many cases, the cancellation was started—but never actually saved.
Why This Happens
- The cancel action wasn’t confirmed on the final screen
- The app closed before the setting was fully saved
- The cancellation was done on one device but not synced
- The trial required an extra confirmation step
How to Check If It Was Really Canceled
- Look for a cancellation confirmation email or receipt
- Check the subscription status inside the account settings
- Verify whether the trial shows an active end date
- Confirm which account or device the cancellation was made on
What This Is Usually Not
- Not a hidden or sneaky charge
- Not a system reactivating your trial
- Not a billing error by default
Most free-trial charges happen because the cancellation never fully completed—not because the service ignored your request.
