Cancel Snapchat: The Right Way
How to cancel snapchat and manage your subscription in singapore
What snapchat is and why you might want to cancel
Snapchat is a multimedia messaging app that lets you send photos, videos, and messages designed to disappear after viewing. The platform also features augmented reality lenses, Stories, location sharing via Snap Map, and Bitmoji integration for personalised avatars.
Beyond the free tier, Snapchat offers three paid subscription tiers: Snapchat+ (early access to features), Lens+ (exclusive AR content), and Platinum Snapchat+ (ad-free Stories plus expanded storage). Many users in Singapore subscribe for these premium features, then discover they no longer need them or want to reduce their monthly spending. At Stopee, we've helped thousands of consumers understand exactly when and how to cancel digital subscriptions without hidden charges or confusion.
When cancellation makes sense
You might cancel Snapchat+ if you no longer use the app regularly, no longer value the custom icons or priority features, or simply want to cut discretionary spending. Some users upgrade during free trials, then forget to cancel before being charged. Others find the premium features don't justify the ongoing cost. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to guide you through a clean, penalty-free cancellation process.
The cost of staying subscribed
Snapchat+ costs approximately S$5.39 per month, Lens+ costs around S$12.14 monthly, and Platinum Snapchat+ runs to about S$20.24 each month. Over a year, even the standard tier adds up to over S$60. If you're not actively using these premium features, that money could be redirected to services you value more.
Snapchat subscription plans and pricing in singapore
This table shows the three main Snapchat subscription tiers, their approximate Singapore Dollar costs (converted from USD), and what you get with each plan.
| Plan name | Monthly cost (SGD) | Key features | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snapchat+ | S$5.39 | Custom app icons, priority replies, chat wallpapers, Bitmoji backgrounds | Casual users wanting small perks |
| Lens+ | S$12.14 | All Snapchat+ features plus hundreds of exclusive AR lenses, AI video lenses, Bitmoji games | AR and content creation enthusiasts |
| Platinum Snapchat+ | S$20.24 | All Snapchat+ and Lens+ perks, ad-free Stories, expanded Memories storage (up to 5 TB) | Power users and frequent creators |
| Free tier | S$0 | Core messaging, Stories, standard lenses, Snap Map, Bitmoji | All users (no commitment required) |
How pricing varies on different platforms
Snapchat charges slightly different rates depending on whether you subscribe via the Apple App Store, Google Play Store, or the web accounts portal. This happens because each platform applies its own taxes and takes a commission on payments. When you cancel, you must cancel on the exact platform where you made the purchase, otherwise your subscription will continue to renew there.
How to cancel snapchat on iOS (Apple app store)
Cancelling your Snapchat subscription on iPhone or iPad takes just a few taps and stops future charges immediately.
- Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Do not open Snapchat itself; Settings is a separate system app.
- Tap your name or Apple ID at the top of the Settings screen.
- This opens your Apple Account management menu.
- Select Subscriptions from the menu.
- This shows all active and expired subscriptions linked to your Apple ID.
- Find and tap Snapchat in the list.
- You will see your current plan name (Snapchat+, Lens+, or Platinum Snapchat+) and renewal date.
- Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom.
- Apple may ask you to confirm your reason for cancelling; this is optional feedback.
- Confirm the cancellation when prompted.
- You will receive an email confirmation to your Apple ID email address.
Important timing for iOS trials and renewals
Warning: If you are on a free trial (typically 7 days), you must cancel at least 24 hours before the trial ends to avoid being charged for the first month. Apple counts cancellation time strictly, so do not assume you have until the last minute.
Pro tip: After you cancel, check the Subscriptions menu again within a few hours to confirm Snapchat no longer appears. If it still shows, your cancellation may not have processed.
How to cancel snapchat on android (Google play store)
Android users cancel through the Google Play Store app or website, and the process is similarly straightforward.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
- Tap your profile icon (a circle) in the top right corner.
- Select Payments and subscriptions from the menu.
- This takes you to a screen showing all your active subscriptions.
- Tap Subscriptions.
- You will see a list of apps you are currently paying for.
- Tap Snapchat in the list.
- The subscription details screen will open.
- Tap Cancel subscription.
- Google Play may show you a brief survey asking why you are cancelling.
- Confirm when prompted.
- You will receive a confirmation email at your Google Account address.
Cancelling snapchat on the web
If you prefer a desktop experience or do not have the app, you can also cancel from Snapchat's accounts portal. First, log in to your Snapchat account at accounts.snapchat.com. Next, navigate to the Manage or Billing section. Then find your active subscription and select Cancel subscription. Finally, confirm your cancellation and note the confirmation message.
Warning: Web cancellations only work for subscriptions purchased directly through Snapchat's website or third-party payment methods. If you bought your subscription through the App Store or Play Store, you must cancel in those platforms, not on Snapchat's website.
What happens after you cancel your snapchat subscription
Understanding what changes after cancellation helps you avoid surprises and plan your next steps.
Your access and features after cancellation
Once you cancel, future automatic renewals stop on the platform where you made the purchase. You keep access to premium features until your current billing period ends. For example, if you cancel on the 15th of a month and your renewal date is the 20th, you retain all paid perks through the 20th. After that date, your account reverts to the free tier, and you lose access to custom icons, exclusive lenses, ad-free Stories, and expanded storage.
Pro tip: Check your subscription renewal date before cancelling. If your renewal is days away, you may choose to wait and cancel right after payment to maximise the value of your final billing cycle.
Your snapchat account and data
Cancelling a subscription does not delete your Snapchat account, messages, Stories, or memories. Your account remains active indefinitely, and you can still send messages, view Stories, and use all free features. Your chat history, Memories, and saved content stay with your account according to Snapchat's standard data retention policy. If you wish to delete your entire account, that is a separate action requiring you to deactivate or permanently remove your account through the Snapchat app or website.
Refunds and your consumer protection rights in singapore
Snapchat's official position is "all sales final," but Singapore consumer law and platform policies create some pathways to refunds in specific situations.
Snapchat's stated refund policy
Snapchat does not directly issue refunds for subscriptions. Instead, refund handling depends entirely on the payment platform: Apple (App Store), Google (Play Store), or a third-party payment processor if you purchased via the web.
Refunds via apple app store
Apple allows you to request a refund for App Store purchases within 45 days of the transaction. To request a refund, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, go to Purchase History, find the Snapchat charge, tap "Report a Problem," and select your reason (e.g., "Accidental purchase" or "I did not authorise this charge"). Apple reviews your request and typically responds within 48 hours. If approved, the refund returns to your original payment method.
Warning: Snapchat does not process App Store refunds; Apple does. Do not contact Snapchat support expecting an App Store refund. Instead, follow Apple's process directly.
Refunds via google play store
Google Play offers a 48-hour refund window for subscriptions from the original purchase date. To request a refund, open Google Play Store, tap your profile icon, go to Payments and Subscriptions, find the Snapchat charge, select it, and tap "Request refund." Google will ask for a reason and typically responds within hours. Approved refunds go back to your original payment method (credit card or Google Play balance).
Consumer protection rights under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects consumers from unfair contract terms and misleading claims. However, this law does not grant an automatic cooling-off right for digital subscriptions purchased online. Unlike the European Union's 14-day withdrawal right, Singapore does not mandate a mandatory cancellation window once a subscription activates.
That said, if Snapchat fails to disclose the true cost of renewal, hides cancellation in hard-to-find menus, or engages in misleading marketing, you may have grounds to escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). Stopee recommends documenting any unfair practices and contacting the CCCS if Snapchat refuses to cancel or refund despite your clear request.
Pro tip: Keep screenshots of your purchase confirmation, subscription details, and any cancellation confirmation. These become crucial evidence if you need to dispute a charge with your bank or file a complaint with the CCCS.
Common mistakes people make when cancelling snapchat
Cancellation feels simple, but small errors can leave you subscribed and charged for months longer than intended.
Cancelling in the wrong place
The single most common mistake is cancelling in the Snapchat app itself rather than in the platform (App Store, Play Store, or web portal) where the subscription was purchased. Snapchat's app settings do not control App Store or Play Store subscriptions. If you purchased via Apple, you must cancel in Settings > [Your Name] > Subscriptions. If you purchased via Google, you must cancel in Google Play Store > Payments and Subscriptions. Cancelling in the wrong place leaves your subscription active and continues to renew automatically.
Forgetting to cancel trial subscriptions
Free trials often renew automatically after 7 days without a reminder. If you sign up for a trial out of curiosity and forget about it, Apple or Google will charge you on day 8. Set a phone reminder for the day before your trial ends, or better yet, cancel immediately after signing up (you keep trial access after cancelling, but it will not renew).
Not checking the renewal date
Many users cancel after being charged, expecting an immediate refund. However, refund eligibility often expires quickly (48 hours on Google Play, 45 days on Apple). If you cancel weeks after renewal, your refund request may be denied. Check your renewal date before it arrives, and submit a refund request immediately if you were charged unexpectedly.
Cancelling on one device but not all
If you have multiple devices (iPhone, iPad, Android phone) linked to the same Apple ID or Google account, cancelling on one device does not automatically cancel on the others. Verify your subscriptions on every device and cancel separately if needed.
A checklist to confirm your cancellation is complete
Use this checklist to ensure your Snapchat subscription is truly cancelled and will not charge you again.
| Task | Completed | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Identified the platform where you purchased (App Store, Play Store, or web) | ☐ | Check your email for the original purchase receipt. |
| Cancelled the subscription on that exact platform | ☐ | Do not rely on cancelling elsewhere. |
| Received a cancellation confirmation email | ☐ | Save this email for your records. |
| Verified the subscription no longer appears in your account | ☐ | Check 24 hours after cancelling for certainty. |
| Checked for cancellation on all devices (if you have multiple) | ☐ | iPhone, iPad, Android, and web accounts each need separate verification. |
| Submitted a refund request (if charged recently and eligible) | ☐ | Request within 48 hours (Google) or 45 days (Apple) of the charge. |

How to contact snapchat if cancellation fails
In rare cases, a subscription continues to renew after you believe you have cancelled. If this happens, contact Snapchat directly before escalating further.
Snapchat support contacts for the Asia-Pacific region
Snapchat's primary contact address for subscription and billing issues in the Asia-Pacific region is:
Snap Inc.
2772 Donald Douglas Loop North
Santa Monica, CA 90405
United States
Additionally, Snapchat's Singapore legal entity, Snap Innovations Pte. Ltd., maintains an office at:
Snap Innovations Pte. Ltd.
MBC Tower 3
Singapore
For urgent billing disputes, email Snapchat support directly via the in-app support form (Settings > Help > Contact Us) and reference your cancellation date, the platform where you purchased, and any confirmation emails. Provide specific dates and amounts to help Snapchat's team locate your subscription record quickly.
Escalating to consumer authorities
If Snapchat refuses to cancel or refund after you have submitted a clear request, escalate to the Competition and Consumer Commission of Singapore (CCCS). The CCCS investigates unfair business practices and can compel companies to refund consumers if terms are breached. File a complaint at www.cccs.gov.sg with screenshots of your subscription, cancellation attempts, and any correspondence with Snapchat. Include your order number, the amount charged, and the date of the dispute.
Pro tip: Before contacting the CCCS, send Snapchat a formal written request (email or letter) stating your cancellation request and requesting a response within 14 days. Document this communication; it strengthens your complaint if escalation becomes necessary.
