How to cancel your ReelShort subscription
The short answer
You cancel where you paid, not inside the ReelShort app.
On an iPhone: Settings, your name, Subscriptions, ReelShort, Cancel Subscription. On Android: Play Store, profile picture, Payments & subscriptions, Subscriptions, ReelShort, Cancel subscription. Deleting the app does not cancel anything.
On an iPhone or iPad (billed by Apple)
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Tap ReelShort in the list of active subscriptions.
- Tap Cancel Subscription, then confirm.
If you do not see a Cancel button, the subscription is already cancelled and will not renew. If ReelShort is not in the list at all, it was not bought with this Apple Account: check another Apple Account, Google Play or the web section below.
On an Android phone (billed by Google Play)
- Open the Google Play Store app.
- Tap your profile picture at the top right.
- Tap Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- Tap ReelShort.
- Tap Cancel subscription and follow the prompts.
Make sure you are signed in to the same Google account you used when you subscribed.
If you paid on a website with a card or PayPal
Some short drama apps also sell subscriptions on their own website, often through a link in an ad. Apple and Google cannot see or cancel those. Signs that you paid this way: the charge on your statement does not say Apple or Google, and ReelShort is missing from both subscription lists above.
- Open ReelShort and go to your profile or account page. Look for a membership, subscription or "manage" entry.
- If there is no cancel option, use the app's help or feedback form and ask in writing for the subscription to be cancelled. Keep a screenshot.
- If you paid with PayPal, you can also stop it yourself: in PayPal go to Settings, Payments, Automatic payments, choose the merchant and cancel.
- If charges continue after you asked to cancel, contact your card issuer and dispute the charge.
Cancel at least a day before it renews
Apple asks you to cancel at least 24 hours before the renewal date, or you may be charged for one more period. You do not lose anything by cancelling early: access continues until the period you paid for ends.
To see your renewal date, open the same Subscriptions screen. It shows the next billing date under the ReelShort entry.
How to ask for a refund
- Apple: go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, choose "Request a refund", give a reason and select the ReelShort charge.
- Google Play: open your Google Play order history, find the charge and choose "Report a problem".
- Paid on a website: write to the app's support first, then dispute the charge with your card issuer or PayPal if you get no answer.
Refunds are decided by Apple, Google or your payment provider, case by case. Asking within a couple of days of the charge gives you the best chance.

Common questions
Does deleting the ReelShort app cancel my subscription?
No. Deleting the app only removes it from your phone. The subscription keeps renewing until you cancel it in your Apple Account, in Google Play, or with ReelShort directly if you paid on a website.
Will I lose access as soon as I cancel ReelShort?
No. When you cancel through Apple or Google you keep access until the end of the period you already paid for. After that it simply does not renew.
Can I get a refund from ReelShort?
Refunds for App Store purchases are decided by Apple: go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, choose "Request a refund" and pick the charge. For Google Play, open your order history at play.google.com, find the charge and choose "Report a problem". Neither is guaranteed, and asking soon after the charge helps.
Why was I charged again after cancelling ReelShort?
The usual reasons are: you cancelled less than 24 hours before the renewal time, the subscription sits on a different Apple or Google account, or you have a second subscription bought on a website. Check all three places on this page.
