Manage Faceplay

How to cancel faceplay: your complete guide to stopping AI face-swap charges in the UAE

What is faceplay and why you might want to cancel

Faceplay is an AI-powered mobile application developed by Coming Technology JSC that lets you create entertaining face-swap effects in photos and videos. The app operates on a subscription model, offering access to filters, templates, and advanced face-swap features through weekly, monthly, seasonal, or annual plans. If you've signed up to experiment with the technology but no longer use it, or if the recurring charges have caught you off guard, cancelling your subscription is straightforward - but only if you know where to go. At Stopee, we help you navigate subscription cancellations with confidence, ensuring you stop unwanted charges and reclaim control of your digital spending.

How faceplay charges you

Faceplay does not manage subscriptions directly. Instead, your charges flow through your device's official app store: Apple App Store for iPhone and iPad users, or Google Play for Android devices. This means your subscription renewal happens automatically each billing cycle unless you cancel through the same store where you purchased it. The app itself contains no direct cancellation button - Faceplay intentionally directs all subscription management to third-party platforms. Understanding this structure is your first step to cancelling without frustration.

When cancellation makes sense

You may decide to cancel if you no longer use the app's premium features, prefer free alternatives, or simply want to pause your subscription while trying other tools. Recurring subscriptions often go unnoticed for months, quietly draining your account. At Stopee, we encourage you to audit your app subscriptions regularly - Faceplay included - to ensure every charge reflects genuine value you're receiving.

Your consumer rights in the united arab emirates

As a consumer in the UAE, you are protected by the UAE Consumer Protection Law (Federal Law No. 24 of 2006), which applies to digital services and subscriptions purchased within the Emirates.

What the law says about subscriptions

Under UAE consumer law, you have the right to cancel a contract within 14 days of purchase if the service was acquired via distance communication (including online and in-app). This statutory withdrawal period - sometimes called a "cooling-off period" - gives you two weeks to change your mind without penalty. Additionally, the law requires companies to provide clear, transparent terms before you subscribe, and to make cancellation as easy as purchase. If Faceplay or the app store makes cancellation deliberately difficult or hidden, that practice may breach these protections.

How to escalate if faceplay refuses your refund

If you request a refund within 14 days of purchase and Faceplay or Apple/Google Play refuses to honour it, you can escalate your complaint to the UAE's General Authority for Consumer Protection (GACP). The GACP handles disputes between consumers and service providers across the Emirates. Document your purchase date, your cancellation request, and any response you receive - these records strengthen your case. Stopee recommends keeping screenshots of all communications; they serve as your evidence if you need to file a formal complaint.

How to cancel faceplay on iPhone or iPad

Cancelling Faceplay on Apple devices requires you to navigate your device's subscription settings, not the app itself. Follow these steps precisely to avoid any interruption to your cancellation.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad and tap your name at the top of the screen.
   • Your name appears above the "iCloud" option in the Settings menu.
2. Select "Subscriptions" from the menu options.
   • If you don't see "Subscriptions" immediately, scroll down - it sits between "Family Sharing" and "iCloud" on most devices.
3. Locate "Faceplay" in your active subscriptions list and tap it.
   • The list shows all active app subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
4. Tap "Cancel Subscription" at the bottom of the Faceplay details screen.
   • Apple will ask you to confirm your reason for cancellation - this is optional feedback, not a barrier to cancelling.
5. Confirm your cancellation when prompted.
   • Apple will display your final access date - typically the end of your current billing cycle.

Warning: Cancel at least 24 hours before your next billing date. If your renewal date falls tomorrow and you cancel today, Apple may still charge you. Check your billing date in the Faceplay subscription details screen; if renewal is imminent, cancel immediately.

Pro tip: After cancelling, Apple sends a confirmation email to your registered Apple ID address. Save this email - it proves you cancelled on a specific date, useful if a charge appears later.

What happens after you cancel on apple

You retain full access to Faceplay's premium features until the end of your current billing period. Once that period ends, the app reverts to free-tier functionality only. Apple will not charge you again unless you manually resubscribe. Your Faceplay account remains active; only the subscription ends.

How to cancel faceplay on android

Android users must navigate Google Play's subscription management interface to cancel Faceplay. The process differs slightly from Apple but is equally straightforward if you know the steps.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
   • Use the official Google Play Store app, not a browser - subscriptions are managed only within the app.
2. Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner of the Play Store home screen.
   • Your profile icon appears as a circular image or initial letter, usually in the upper-right area.
3. Select "Payments & subscriptions" from the menu.
   • This opens your subscription management dashboard.
4. Tap "Subscriptions" to view all active subscriptions linked to your Google account.
   • A list of all active app subscriptions appears here.
5. Find "Faceplay" in the subscriptions list and tap it.
   • Each subscription shows its plan name, price, and renewal date.
6. Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice.
   • Google may prompt you to provide feedback - this step is optional.

Warning: Some Android devices redirect you from the Faceplay app's settings back to Google Play. This is normal - always complete your cancellation in Google Play itself, not within the app. App-level settings buttons do not cancel subscriptions.

Pro tip: Google Play sends a cancellation confirmation to your registered Google account email. You'll receive it within minutes. If you don't see it, check your spam folder or log into your Google Play account online to verify the cancellation status.

What happens after you cancel faceplay

Ending a subscription feels final, but the aftermath can be confusing. Here's exactly what to expect and what actions you should take next.

Your access during the notice period

After you cancel, you keep full access to all premium Faceplay features until your current billing cycle ends. If you cancelled on the 15th and your renewal date is the 30th, you have access through the 30th. This grace period allows you to download or export any creations before losing premium functionality. Once the cycle ends, Faceplay downgrades to free mode - limited filters and templates only.

Your account and data

Cancelling your subscription does not delete your Faceplay account or any photos, videos, or face-swap creations you've saved. Your account persists indefinitely. If you want to completely remove your Faceplay account and all associated data, you must access your account settings within the app and request data deletion separately. This is a distinct action from subscription cancellation - many users cancel the subscription but keep their account for occasional free-tier use.

Preventing accidental resubscription

After you cancel, Faceplay will not auto-renew. However, if you manually tap "Subscribe" within the app later, you'll initiate a new subscription immediately. Be mindful: tapping upgrade buttons or premium feature prompts within Faceplay can restart charges. Stopee advises users to remove their saved payment methods from their app store account if they want an extra layer of protection against accidental reactivation.

Refunds: can you get your money back

Whether you qualify for a refund depends on when you purchased, how long you've used the subscription, and which app store processed your payment. Stopee has helped thousands of consumers navigate refund claims, and we break down your options here.

Refunds for subscriptions purchased via apple app store

Apple allows refunds for app subscriptions within 14 days of purchase if you request them through your account. After 14 days, Apple's refund window typically closes, and Faceplay does not offer separate refunds for App Store purchases. To request a refund, log into your Apple account on the web, go to "Purchase History," find the Faceplay charge, and select "Report a Problem." Choose "I would like a refund" and explain briefly - for example, "I did not use the service" or "I was charged unexpectedly." Apple reviews requests within 48 hours and usually approves refunds within that timeframe if you meet the 14-day window.

Refunds for subscriptions purchased via google play

Google Play allows refunds within 48 hours of your first charge for new subscriptions. After 48 hours, your refund window closes. Unlike Apple's 14-day window, Google's is narrower - act quickly. To request a refund, open the Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, select "Payments & subscriptions," tap "Subscriptions," find Faceplay, and select "Cancel subscription." On the cancellation screen, Google asks for a reason and offers a refund option if you're within the 48-hour window. If the refund button appears, tap it immediately.

Refunds for direct or web-based purchases

Faceplay's terms and conditions do not outline a separate refund policy for subscriptions purchased directly through their website. Since Faceplay directs all transactions through app stores, direct web purchases are rare. If you somehow purchased a subscription directly and not through an app store, contact Faceplay's support through their website or in-app help centre and request a refund with your purchase confirmation. Under UAE consumer law, you have a 14-day right to cancel, so mention this in your request. If Faceplay refuses, escalate to the GACP or your card issuer.

Faceplay subscription plans and pricing in the UAE

Understanding Faceplay's pricing structure helps you decide which plan - if any - makes sense for your needs, and whether you're paying fairly for what you use.

Available subscription tiers

Faceplay offers six main subscription options, priced in AED for the UAE market. Prices may vary slightly depending on promotional campaigns or regional adjustments. All plans grant access to core face-swap features; differences lie in renewal frequency and billing cycle.

Cost-per-month breakdown

If you pay weekly at AED 9.99, your annual cost reaches approximately AED 519.48 - nearly four times the annual subscription price. Conversely, the annual plan at AED 117.99 costs just AED 9.83 per month. If you know you'll use Faceplay for a full year, purchasing the annual plan saves you money significantly. However, if you're uncertain about long-term use, start with the monthly plan and upgrade only after confirming you'll stay active.

Common mistakes when cancelling faceplay

Cancelling a subscription feels simple, but small errors can leave charges active or create confusion. We've seen users make these mistakes repeatedly, and we want you to avoid them.

Mistake 1: deleting the app instead of cancelling the subscription

Removing Faceplay from your phone does not cancel your subscription. The app and the subscription are separate. You can delete Faceplay tomorrow and still receive charges the day after your renewal date. Always cancel through your app store settings first, then delete the app if you wish.

Mistake 2: cancelling within hours of renewal

If your renewal date is tomorrow and you cancel today, your app store may still process the charge before your cancellation takes effect. The safe window is 24 to 48 hours before renewal. Check your next billing date in your app store subscription settings, calculate backward, and cancel early.

Mistake 3: assuming the app's "unsubscribe" button is real

Some apps display fake "unsubscribe" buttons within the app interface that do nothing. Faceplay is no exception - any unsubscribe button you find inside the app likely redirects you to your app store settings. Never assume an in-app button handles your cancellation. Always navigate directly to Apple Settings or Google Play to verify cancellation yourself.

Mistake 4: not confirming your cancellation in writing

After you cancel, screenshot your confirmation screen showing the cancellation date and your remaining access period. Save this image. If a charge appears after your cancellation date, you have proof that you cancelled properly - this makes refund requests far easier. Stopee recommends storing cancellation confirmations in a folder on your phone or cloud storage dedicated to subscription records.

8. If a charge appears despite your cancellation, request a refund immediately through your app store's refund system.
   • Include your cancellation screenshot as evidence.
9. If your refund is denied, escalate to the UAE General Authority for Consumer Protection with copies of all communications.
   • Stopee advises keeping all evidence for 12 months.
