Are you annoyed by expired subscriptions showing up on your iPhone and looking for a way to clear your subscription history?
Unfortunately, there is no way to delete app subscriptions from your subscription history, even if they are expired. Read on to learn more and for additional tips on managing your Apple subscriptions.
Removing Apple Subscription History
Unfortunately, there is no way to delete Apple subscription records manually. After a subscription expires, it will automatically get deleted one year after it expires.
However, you can clear your App Store history in your “Purchased” tab. This is separate from your “Subscriptions” tab. Open the App Store, click on your profile picture at the top-right, and click on the “Purchased” (or “My Purchases”) tab. Then, swipe left on an app to hide it. Subscriptions for deleted apps will still appear in the “Subscriptions” tab. Hiding an app from this tab doesn’t automatically cancel the subscription, so you may still get billed for it.
Hiding Unwanted Subscriptions
Your only option to conceal app subscriptions is to create a new Apple ID. This will hide your unused and expired subscriptions from the iPhone. This is an extreme step that probably isn’t worth it, unless you’re sharing an iPhone with someone and you really can’t have them seeing any old subscriptions you had.
Restoring a Canceled Subscription
You can restore a canceled subscription by signing up for it again, in the same way you signed up for it the first time. Usually, you do this by going to that specific app and signing up for the subscription again.
If you didn’t manually cancel the subscription, but it expired by itself, you can renew it. Open the App Store, click on your profile icon at the top right, and click on the “Subscriptions” tab. Then, scroll down to your inactive subscriptions, click on the subscription, and select “Renew” to renew it.
Troubleshooting Subscription Deletion Issues
As explained above, you cannot delete subscriptions that expired.
If you’re looking for a way to cancel an active subscription (not delete it from your history), go to your “Subscriptions” tab, click on a subscription, and click on “Cancel Subscription.”
Conclusion
Unfortunately, you cannot clear subscription records manually on your iPhone. You can only wait for expired subscriptions to get deleted by themselves, which usually takes a year. If you really need to hide an expired subscription from your iPhone, your only real option is getting a new Apple ID. ures and customization options.
