How to cancel a YouTube Premium subscription on desktop or mobile
YouTube Premium (which was formerly called YouTube Red) is a subscription version of YouTube that offers ad-free versions of all the video on the site, along with exclusive original content and some other features (like downloads for offline playback) for $12 per month.
If you’ve tried YouTube Premium but want to cancel your subscription, you can do it with just a few clicks or taps.
In most cases, you can cancel YouTube Premium from the web site or the YouTube mobile app. The only exception is if you subscribed via iTunes – you’ll need to unsubscribe using the App Store app on your iPhone.
