What if I do not find the Cancel Premium Button?

If you do not find the Cancel Premium button, it may be because your subscription is managed through a third-party service such as iTunes or Google Play. Therefore, you can’t cancel your subscription through the Spotify app or website.

You’ll need to cancel your plan through the third party service dashboard instead directly through the Spotify app.
