Cancelling Medium depends on how you originally subscribed. This guide covers cancellation through the Medium website, mobile apps, and app store billing methods.
Most Medium users are billed directly and can cancel from their account settings. If you subscribed through a mobile app, you'll need to cancel through the App Store or Google Play instead.
These steps work for most Medium users. Your exact process depends on how you originally subscribed to Medium.
Go to medium.com and log in using your email address and password. Click on your profile picture in the top right corner.
From the dropdown menu, select Settings. This will take you to your account management page.
Look for the Membership section on the left side of the settings page. Click on Membership to view your subscription details.
Click the Cancel membership button. Medium may ask why you're cancelling with a brief survey you can skip.
Confirm your cancellation when prompted. You'll receive an email confirmation and your membership will remain active until the end of your current billing period.
A few things that might affect your Medium cancellation process.
These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.
If you subscribed through the iPhone or Android app, you'll need to cancel through the App Store or Google Play, not Medium's website.
Cancelling doesn't delete your Medium account or reading history. You can still access free articles and your bookmarks after cancelling.
Simply deleting the Medium app from your phone won't cancel your subscription. You need to follow the cancellation steps first.
If you're not reading enough to justify the cost, you might consider these alternatives instead of cancelling completely.
If you don't see a cancel option in your Medium account, you may need to cancel through one of these methods instead.
If you subscribed to Medium through the iPhone app, cancel through your Apple ID subscriptions.
