Paramount Plus is compatible with multiple devices. However, these devices may use different operating systems. Android and Apple devices both use their own unique app stores and will thus require you to follow their own processes to cancel a subscription.
Therefore, before you can cancel your subscription, you will have to identify the type of device that you used to sign up for Paramount Plus. Once you have identified the correct device, you will need to follow the cancelation steps for that specific device.
Below is a list of device options and their required steps for you to successfully cancel your Paramount Plus subscription.

If you do not see any subscriptions under your settings, you will need to go to the iTunes & App Store. Once there, tap on your Apple ID, and then sign in to your account.

Apple TV (4th Generation and Later)
With your AppleTV, you are only able to edit your subscriptions for the apps that are installed on your AppleTV. In order to edit your subscription settings on AppleTV, you must click on the ‘Settings’ menu on your screen. Under your settings menu, you must select ‘User & Accounts.’
You will then be required to select your own account and scroll down to find your subscriptions. Once you have selected the subscriptions menu and found your Paramount Plus subscription, you will then need to select ‘Cancel the Subscription’ and confirm the cancellation.
The option to cancel your subscription may not appear on the screen. This means that your subscription has already been canceled, and Paramount Plus will not charge you their monthly fees the following month or renew their services.
Android Devices
Android devices use a separate operating system from Apple or IOS. Apps on Android devices are downloaded, upgraded, and managed through the Google Playstore app.
All apps that have been downloaded from the Playstore can be uninstalled from your device. Unfortunately, uninstalling your Paramount Plus app from your mobile or Android TV only removes the app from your device and does not result in your subscription being canceled.
To cancel your Paramount Plus subscription on an Android device, you will have to use the particular Android device that downloaded the app. Access the Google Play Store on this device and look for the Paramount Plus subscription; select it once you have found it.
Click on the available option to cancel your subscription and follow the instructions that the Play Store recommends.
If you run into any problems with canceling your Paramount Plus account on your Android device, you can report your issue to the Play Store at support.google.com/googleplay//hl=en# .

All your subscriptions that you have previously subscribed to will appear on the screen. Scroll down to your Paramount Plus subscription and select ‘Manage Subscription.’
Under this option, there will be a link to ‘Manage Your Prime Video Channels’, which you must select. Once you have done so, you will be able to find the Paramount Plus subscription that you would like to cancel.
The final step is to select the option to cancel the subscription, followed by your confirmation of cancellation.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I Cancel Paramount Plus Before the Free Trial Ends?
If you are a potential first-time subscriber to Paramount Plus, you are given a free 30-day trial period after you have signed up. The trial period gives you full access, for free, to all Paramount Plus channels and live content.
The 30-day trial period will commence the moment you sign up for Paramount Plus. Paramount Plus calculates a ‘day’ in their 30-day free trial as a 24-hour period. Therefore, if you sign up at 5 am on Monday, your first day will end 24 hours later, which will be at 5 am on Tuesday (the next day).
If you decide not to continue using Paramount Plus, you will need to cancel your subscription before your 30-day free trial expires. This will avoid you being charged a monthly subscription fee, as you would have opted out of the permanent monthly subscription with Paramount Plus.
The steps to follow in order to cancel your Paramount Plus account will differ according to what device you use, as listed above. If you are in need of additional help, visit techdaily.ca/paramount-plus-review.
Conclusion
The process of canceling your Paramount Plus subscription may differ according to the type of device you use. However, by following the steps above that relate to your particular device, you will be able to cancel your subscription in no time and with very little hassle.
