How you cancel a Tidal subscription on an iPhone depends on how you pay. If you subscribed inside the iPhone app and are billed through Apple, open Settings, tap your name, tap Subscriptions, choose Tidal and tap Cancel Subscription. If you pay Tidal directly, deleting the app won’t stop billing; cancel from your account page on Tidal’s website instead. These steps work on an iPhone 7 and on newer iPhones.
Quick Answer
Billed by Apple: Settings > your name > Subscriptions > Tidal > Cancel Subscription. Billed by Tidal: sign in on Tidal’s website and cancel from your account’s subscription settings.
Steps to Cancel Through Your iPhone
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your name at the top.
- Tap Subscriptions. Enter your password or use Face ID or Touch ID if asked.
- Tap Tidal in the Active list.
- Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm.
If Tidal Isn’t in Your Subscriptions List
You’re most likely billed directly by Tidal (or through a phone carrier or other partner). Open Safari, go to Tidal’s website, sign in, open your account settings and look for the option to manage or cancel your subscription. Menu names change over time, so follow the current labels on the page. If you pay through a carrier bundle, contact that provider.
