How to cancel Spotify
Cancelling Spotify Premium is usually quick to do yourself. If you signed up on Spotify's own website you can cancel directly in your account settings. If you subscribed through the App Store or Google Play, you have to cancel it there, because that store controls the payment and we cannot stop store billing for you. Where SubscriptionCancellation.com adds honest value is sending Spotify a formal account closure and data deletion request under UK GDPR with timestamped proof, and stepping in on the subscriptions that genuinely fight back.

Spotify cancellation FAQs
I am billed through Apple or Google, can I cancel Spotify by email?
No. If your Spotify Premium is billed through the App Store or Google Play, only you can cancel it in that store account, because the store controls the payment. We cannot stop store billing by email. We can still send Spotify a formal account closure and data deletion request on your behalf.
Will I lose my playlists straight away when I cancel?
Cancelling Premium usually drops you to the free tier rather than deleting your account, so your playlists typically remain. If you want your account fully closed and your data removed, that is a separate request, which SubscriptionCancellation.com can send for you.
What does SubscriptionCancellation.com actually do for Spotify?
We send Spotify a formal account closure and data deletion notice under UK GDPR with timestamped proof, and we help you stop any billing. If your subscription is billed through the App Store or Google Play, you cancel it in your store account, and we do not claim to stop that.
SubscriptionCancellation.com is an independent service and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or connected to Spotify. We provide proof that your cancellation notice was sent, not a guarantee of the outcome.
