Cover card with a payment card and calendar, for stopping an Instagram or Meta One subscription charge.
Short answer

Cancel a Meta One, Meta Verified or Instagram creator subscription where you paid for it: in Apple's subscription settings on iPhone, Google Play on Android, or Accounts Center for web purchases. Deleting the app doesn't stop billing. Cancel at least a day before renewal, keep the confirmation, and check whether features end at the end of the billing period.

Summary
  • Cancel where you paid: Apple, Google Play or Meta.
  • Deleting the app doesn't cancel.
  • Features usually last until the period ends.
  • Keep the cancellation confirmation.
  • Unknown charges can mean a hacked account.

#What common mistakes should I avoid?

  • Deleting the app instead of cancelling.
  • Cancelling on the wrong store.
  • Calling 'Meta billing' numbers found online.
  • Ignoring unknown charges.

#When should I ask an expert before I act?

Ask for help before you appeal if the account matters to your income, your business or your memories, if you have already had one appeal rejected, or if you cannot tell whether the problem is a bug, a restriction or a hack. That is where most avoidable losses happen.
