Spotify is undoubtedly one of the best platforms for streaming music and connecting with the music the world is listening. But if you own a premium account of Spotify and wish to cancel the Spotify subscription, you can do it very quickly. You can either try other music streaming services such as Apple Music or Pandora or save your money and listen to music with a free Spotify account. Though it is easy to move from a premium account of Spotify to a free one, deleting your Spotify account and relevant information is not much easy. This blog will let you know how to cancel your Spotify subscription as well as delete your dedicated Spotify account forever.
Here’s how you can cancel your Spotify subscription
First thing first, you will have to sign in with your associated account details and then go to the ‘Subscription’ option available at the left-hand section of the screen. Once you open the subscription section, you will see the ‘change or cancel’ option over there. Click on the available option on the screen and then choose ‘cancel Premium.’ You will be asked again if you wish to cancel the subscription, choose the ‘Yes’ option for cancellation. However, your premium subscription will be active until the next payment is due.
When your Spotify account runs on a free subscription plan, the ads will appear while streaming music and you can only shuffle play albums that are offered by Spotify. You won’t be charged anything after you cancel the subscription plan. Though, if you cancel the subscription plan around the billing date of plan and payment is processed, your plan might renew for further.
No cancel option?
If you can’t see the cancel option on your account page of Spotify, it means that you have subscribed via a third party source such as iTunes. In this case, you will have to get in touch with the company managing your payments. For iTunes, go through the guide provided by Apple for managing the in-app subscriptions. Check whether any other premium account is active and access the password reset form for checking the registered email ID. You can check Facebook to see if any Spotify account is connected over there as well.
How to reactivate Spotify Premium account?
It is possible to recover your Spotify account as it is until three months after cancellation. All your settings and playlist will be there to enjoy them the way you left. If three months are over, you can still choose to get the Premium subscription, but you won’t get the old settings in your account.
How to delete Spotify account permanently?
Spotify allows users to stream music through a free account. Hence, you can cancel the paid subscription plan and use the free version. But if you wish to delete the playlists and settings from Spotify, it is possible to delete your Spotify account permanently. Here are steps for removing the Spotify account:
1. Sign in to your Spotify account and make sure you don’t have a current premium plan.
2. Cancel the subscription plan first if it is active and then go to the contact form page of Spotify.
3. You can get the contact form by clicking on the ‘Close Account’ option from the Account Help page of Spotify.
4. Select the ‘I want to close my account permanently’ option over there and then hit the ‘Close account’ button to delete your Spotify account permanently.
In this way, you can easily cancel the purchased subscription plan and delete your Spotify account completely!
