Frequently Asked Questions

Can I pause my YouTube Premium membership instead of cancelling?

Yes. On a browser, under "Manage Membership," you may see an option to pause for 1 to 6 months. Your benefits will stop and resume automatically after the pause. This is great if you just need a short break.

What happens to my benefits after I cancel?

You keep all Premium benefits (ad-free, background play) until the end of your current billing period. The cancellation simply prevents the next auto-renewal.

Will I get a refund?

Generally, no. YouTube does not offer refunds for partial billing periods. Once you cancel, you simply use the service until the period you paid for ends.

I can't find the cancel button. What do I do?

This means you subscribed through a different platform. If you're on iPhone, check your Google Play account (and vice-versa). Ensure you are signed into the exact account you used to make the purchase.
