How to Change a Subscription or Re-subscribe to a Canceled Service

Apple keeps a record of your subscription history, which makes it easy to re-subscribe to a service you previously canceled. (Note that after re-subscribing to a service, your subscription will automatically renew until you cancel it again.) You can also change an existing subscription from the same screens. The following steps relate to iOS and are largely similar to the ones for canceling a subscription.

  1. Open Settings on your ‌iPhone‌ or ‌iPad‌.
  2. Tap your ‌Apple ID‌ at the top of the page.
  3. Tap Subscriptions.
  4. Under the Expired section, tap on the service that you wish to re-subscribe to, or tap an active subscription to change it.
    ios change resubscribe
  5. Tap the in-app purchase payment method you want to use to purchase the new subscription and authorize with Touch ID or Face ID.
