How to Cancel Your Paramount+ Subscription

Paramount+ is a streaming giant, offering a treasure trove of content, from next-day CBS shows to original series. But at $8 a month, it's easy to find yourself wondering if you're getting your money's worth. If you're feeling the pinch, canceling your Paramount+ subscription is a breeze, and you can reclaim that cash for other pursuits.

Navigating the Cancellation Maze

The cancellation process varies depending on how you signed up for Paramount+. If you went through the Apple App Store, Google Play, Amazon Fire TV, or Roku, you're stuck with their platform for canceling. These platforms often involve navigating to a "Channels" or "Subscriptions" tab.

Canceling on Your Browser

For those who signed up via a desktop or mobile browser, a smart TV, or a gaming console, the process is straightforward:

1. Head to paramountplus.com: Log in to your account.

2. Access Your Account: Click on your username in the top right corner to open the drop-down menu. Select "Account."

3. Cancel Your Subscription: Scroll down to the "Subscription & Billing" section and click "Cancel subscription."

Canceling on an Apple Device

1. Open Settings: On your iPhone or iPad, navigate to the Settings app. Tap your name at the top of the screen.

2. Locate Subscriptions: On the Apple Account screen, tap "Subscriptions" in the first section.

3. Cancel Paramount+: Select Paramount+ from your active subscriptions. This will open a screen with subscription details. Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm your choice.

Canceling on an Android Device

1. Access Google Play Store: Open the Google Play Store app on your computer, phone, or tablet.

2. Navigate to Subscriptions: Tap the "Menu" button at the top of the screen (or your avatar in the top right corner if you're on a computer). Select "Subscriptions" or "Payments & Subscriptions."

3. Cancel Paramount+: Choose Paramount+ from your list of subscriptions. Click "Cancel Subscription" and confirm.

The Fine Print: What Happens After Cancellation?

Your Paramount+ access will remain active until the end of your current billing cycle. If you paid for service through June 1st and cancel on May 18th, you can still watch until the end of the month. Your content access won't change until the billing cycle ends.

Important Note: If your Paramount+ subscription is linked to a third-party service like Walmart+, your access might end immediately upon canceling the third-party service. For example, pausing your Walmart+ account could instantly pause your Paramount+ access.

Missing Your Fix? Resubscribing is Possible

Fear not, former Paramount+ devotees! If you start missing the streaming magic, you can resubscribe anytime. However, be prepared to go through the billing and payment process again. Unlike some other services, there's no quick reactivation button for Paramount+.

Keep an Eye Out for Deals

If budget is a concern, keep an eye out for Paramount+ discounts. Students with verified enrollment through SheerID can snag a 25% discount. Sharing your account with friends and family is also an option, as Paramount+ hasn't cracked down on password sharing outside the subscriber's household.

Final Thoughts

With its vast library of content and user-friendly cancellation process, Paramount+ empowers you to make informed decisions about your streaming habits. Whether you're cutting back on expenses or simply need a streaming break, canceling your subscription is easy, leaving you free to pursue other passions – or perhaps, discover a new streaming service to call your own.
