How to Cancel X Premium: Steps for Web, iPhone and Android

First, find out where you pay

You can only cancel on the platform you bought from. This is why most people can’t find the cancel button: they look on x.com, but they paid through Apple or Google.

How to cancel X Premium on the web

If you subscribed on x.com, cancel in your X settings. X’s Help Center only says to “manage your subscription from Settings”, and menu names move around, so look for the Premium or subscription entry.

1. 1

   Log in on x.com

   Use a computer or a phone browser, on the account that has Premium.
2. 2

   Open Settings

   Click More in the left menu, then Settings and privacy.
3. 3

   Open your Premium subscription

   Find Premium or your subscription in the settings list.
4. 4

   Choose Manage subscription, then Cancel

   Confirm. Your features stay until your next billing date.

How to cancel X Premium on iPhone

If you bought Premium in the X app on an iPhone, Apple bills you. Cancel it in your iPhone settings. The X app can’t do it for you.

1. 1

   Open Settings and tap your name

   At the top of the Settings app.
2. 2

   Tap Subscriptions

   You see every subscription Apple bills you for.
3. 3

   Tap X

   Pick the X Premium subscription.
4. 4

   Tap Cancel Subscription

   You may need to scroll down. No Cancel button, or a red expiry message? Then it is already cancelled.

On a Mac, open the App Store, click your name, then Subscriptions. These steps come from Apple’s own guide.

How to cancel X Premium on Android

If you bought Premium on an Android phone, Google Play bills you. Cancel it in Google Play.

1. 1

   Open your Google Play subscriptions

   In the Play Store app, tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions. On a computer, go to your subscriptions on play.google.com.
2. 2

   Pick X

   Check you are signed in to the right Google account.
3. 3

   Tap Cancel subscription

   On a computer, click Manage first.
4. 4

   Pick a reason and confirm

   You keep access until the paid time ends.

Steps from Google Play Help.

Switched to The X Subscription? Cancel on grok.com

The X Subscription replaced the old Premium plans for new sign-ups on October 12. If you switched, your plan is managed on your grok.com dashboard. More on the change in The X Subscription vs X Premium.

1. 1

   Go to grok.com/dashboard/billing

   This is the Billing & invoices page.
2. 2

   Open the options on the Current plan card

   Choose to cancel.
3. 3

   Follow the prompts to confirm

   You can cancel at any time.

Bought The X Subscription on X or in Google Play? Cancel it there instead. Steps from the X Subscription docs.

What happens after you cancel X Premium

Nothing changes right away. Your features run until the end of the period you paid for, and then they stop. You are not charged again.

X’s Premium FAQ says your blue checkmark stays until the end of the term you paid for, unless your account is suspended or X removes it for another reason.

Can you get an X Premium refund?

Usually not. X says Premium subscriptions are non-refundable unless the law requires it. Cancelling stops the next charge. It doesn’t pay back the current one.

From X’s Premium FAQ, the X Subscription terms and the refund docs, checked October 25, 2026.

What you keep and what you lose

You keep your account, followers and posts. You lose the paid tools, and a few of them matter for growth.

Before you cancel: is there a cheaper plan?

Not for new sign-ups. The X Subscription list starts at $8 a month for Plus, which has the checkmark. The old $3 Basic plan isn’t on the new list.

Monthly US web prices before tax, from X’s About X Premium page and SpaceXSI pricing (the company behind Grok), checked October 25, 2026. No plan cheaper than Plus was listed that day. Check the pricing page before you decide.

Three options before you cancel:

1. 1

   On the old Basic plan? Keep it

   Basic still gives you edit post, longer posts and reply prioritization for $3. Existing plans keep running unless you change them. If you cancel, $3 may not come back.
2. 2

   On Premium+? Downgrade

   On the web, your current plan runs until the billing date, then switches to the cheaper one. No refund for the current month. Is the top tier worth it at all? See Premium vs Premium+.
3. 3

   Not sure the checkmark pays off? Run the numbers

   Put your followers and goals into the Is X Premium worth it calculator before you decide.

Can you still grow after cancelling?

Yes. Premium gives your replies a push, but it doesn’t write your posts or find the right people to reply to. Posting every day and replying to accounts in your niche does most of the work. The full plan is in how to grow on X without Premium.

That daily work is what ClimbX helps with. It drafts posts in your voice and finds posts worth replying to. You edit and approve everything before it goes out.
