How to cancel your Philo streaming subscription no matter the platform you subscribed through

• You can cancel your Philo streaming subscription whether you subscribed through Philo's website, the iPhone or iPad app, Amazon, Best Buy, or Roku.
• If you don't cancel your free 7-day trial of Philo before the deadline, your credit card will be charged.
• If you keep your subscription past the trial period, you will be billed monthly, but can cancel at any time.

Philo, like other online streaming services, automatically bills you monthly. You can cancel any time, though. This makes Philo considerably more flexible than traditional cable and satellite.

The downside, however, is if you don't know how to cancel Philo, or you forget to do so before the next billing cycle starts, you will be charged for the month. If you cancel in the middle of your billing cycle, however, you can continue watching until the cycle is done.

Note that there are several ways to cancel Philo depending on whether you subscribed directly through the website or through an app or service.

How to cancel Philo on a computer through Philo's website

1. Open the Philo website in a web browser.

2. Click on the user icon, a smiley face that should be in the upper right corner.

3. Click on the "Account" tab in the Philo user landing page.

4. Scroll down to the bottom and click "Cancel my account."

5. A pop-up will ask you why you're cancelling. Choose an option, then click "Cancel my account" at the very bottom and it is cancelled.

How to cancel Philo through the Apple app

Another way you may have subscribed to Philo is through the iPad or iPhone app. Note that there is not currently a way to cancel your subscription through the Android app.
