How many times have you signed up for a service, only to find the process of canceling it so confusing and convoluted that you avoided doing it altogether? The problem, of course, with not canceling is that you will continue to be charged month after month. Good news: you won’t have to call and speak to a representative if you want to get rid of certain subscriptions – because this is the secret hack people are using to cancel subscriptions on their iPhone and save so much money.
Hulu is great and all, but maybe you’re trying to cut down on your monthly expenses and have decided to get rid of one of your many entertainment sources. Or perhaps you signed up for a free Hulu trial and weren’t impressed. Whatever your reason for wanting to cancel, Apple can make the whole process a little intimidating, which could result in your hanging onto the service (and paying for it) for a lot longer than you had intended.
You can cancel your Hulu subscription with just a few clicks on your iPhone — the only caveat is that this will only work if you originally signed up for Hulu though your iPhone app. If you would rather upgrade or downgrade your Hulu subscription, but not get rid of it entirely, this can also be done via your iPhone.
Here are the simple steps you can take to cancel your Hulu subscription right on your iPhone:
Open settings. Tap on your name and Apple ID at the top. Select “Subscriptions” beneath “Payment & Shipping” or tap “Media & Purchases” and then “Subscriptions.”
When you get to “Subscriptions,” you’ll see a tab that says “Active.” Tap on your Hulu subscription. Here you’ll find two types of memberships under “Options.” Tap on “Cancel subscription” at the bottom of the page or, if you’re trying to cancel a trial, tap on “Cancel free trial.”
That's it — that's all it takes to cancel your Hulu subscription through your iPhone with as little fuss as possible.
