Manage Prequel

How to cancel prequel and understand your photo-editing subscription in singapore

What prequel is and why you might want to cancel

Prequel is a subscription-based photo and video editing app that gives you access to filters, effects and creative tools designed for social media creators and casual editors. The app operates through recurring subscription charges, typically managed by your device's app store (Apple App Store or Google Play) or through Prequel's own web-based subscription channels.

You might choose to cancel Prequel if you've finished a creative project, found a cheaper alternative, or simply want to manage your monthly subscriptions more carefully. Whatever your reason, Stopee is here to walk you through the cancellation process step by step, ensuring you don't lose access before your paid period ends or miss out on potential refunds.

When cancellation makes sense

Cancel Prequel if you no longer use the editing tools regularly, prefer free alternatives, or want to pause your subscription temporarily. You should also cancel if you're being charged unexpectedly or if the app no longer meets your creative needs. Stopee recommends reviewing your subscription at least every three months to avoid paying for services you've stopped using.

Why you should act now

Subscription apps often renew automatically without reminder. If you cancel today, you'll typically retain access to premium features until the end of your current billing period, meaning you're not losing value by acting immediately. The sooner you cancel with Stopee's guidance, the sooner you'll stop unnecessary charges.

Your consumer rights in singapore

What the consumer protection act means for you

Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act protects you against unfair contract terms, misleading advertising and automatic renewal traps. This law applies to Prequel's subscription service even though the company is based overseas. You have the right to cancel within a reasonable timeframe without penalty, and you're entitled to clear information about billing dates, renewal terms and cancellation procedures.

Your right to cancel and your right to a refund

Under Singapore law, you can demand cancellation at any time. If Prequel charges you without clear consent or fails to honour its cancellation terms, you can escalate to the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA). Stopee recommends keeping screenshots of your subscription settings and billing history as evidence if you need to lodge a complaint. If you're charged after cancellation, you have a legitimate claim for a refund.

How to cancel prequel on every platform

Cancel prequel through apple app store (iPhone and iPad)

If you subscribed to Prequel through Apple, you must cancel through Apple's system rather than within the app itself. Follow these steps carefully to ensure your cancellation takes effect.

1. Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
   • Tap your name at the top of the screen.
   • Select Subscription.
2. Scroll down and find Prequel in your active subscriptions list.
   • Tap on Prequel to open its subscription details.
3. Tap Cancel Subscription at the bottom of the screen.
   • Read the cancellation confirmation message.
   • Confirm your decision when prompted.
4. You will receive an email confirmation from Apple within minutes.
   • Save this email for your records.
   • Check that the cancellation date matches your expectations.

Pro tip: If you cannot see Prequel in your subscriptions list, it may have already been cancelled. Check your email for past cancellation confirmations.

Cancel prequel through google play (Android devices)

Android users manage Prequel subscriptions through Google Play Store. The process is straightforward and takes just a few minutes to complete.

1. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android phone or tablet.
   • Tap your profile icon in the top right corner.
2. Select Payments and subscriptions.
   • Tap Subscriptions from the menu options.
3. Find Prequel in your active subscriptions.
   • Tap on the Prequel subscription to view details.
4. Tap Cancel subscription.
   • Follow the on-screen prompts to confirm.
   • You may be offered a discount to stay subscribed; ignore this if you're certain you want to cancel.
5. You'll see a confirmation message stating when your cancellation takes effect.
   • Google will email you a confirmation shortly after.

Warning: Do not cancel within the Google Play app itself. Always use the Payments and Subscriptions menu to ensure the cancellation registers with Google's billing system.

Cancel direct web subscriptions with prequel

If you purchased Prequel directly through the company's website rather than through an app store, you'll cancel through Prequel's own account system.

1. Visit the Prequel website and log into your account.
   • Enter your email address and password.
   • If you've forgotten your password, use the "Forgot password" link.
2. Navigate to your account settings or subscription management page.
   • Look for a Subscription, Billing or Account section in the main menu.
   • This is typically found by clicking your profile icon or account name.
3. Select your active Prequel subscription from the list.
   • Review the cancellation policy displayed on this page.
4. Click Cancel Subscription or similar option.
   • Confirm your cancellation when the system asks you to verify.
5. Save the confirmation page or email for your records.
   • Note the exact date your cancellation becomes effective.

Pro tip: If you cannot find a self-service cancellation option on Prequel's website, contact Prequel support directly (see the contact details section below). Stopee always recommends attempting self-service cancellation first, as it typically takes effect immediately.

What happens to your access and data after cancellation

Your premium features and the grace period

After you cancel Prequel, you retain full access to all premium features until the end of your current paid billing period. If you paid for a yearly subscription and cancelled mid-year, you keep editing tools active until that year ends. This means you're not losing anything by cancelling today; you're simply preventing future charges.

Stopee recommends taking note of your cancellation date and your subscription end date so you don't accidentally resubscribe thinking you've already paid.

Auto-renewal stops, but confirm your settings

Once you cancel, auto-renewal stops and you will not be charged again after your current paid period expires. However, verify this by checking your subscription settings one week after cancellation. Log back into your account (Apple ID, Google Play or Prequel web) and confirm that Prequel no longer appears in your active subscriptions. If it still shows as active, contact support immediately.

Your account, content and data deletion

Cancellation does not automatically delete your Prequel account or any photos and videos you've uploaded or edited. Your account remains accessible if you ever want to resubscribe or retrieve saved projects. If you want your account and all associated data completely removed, you must request account deletion separately by contacting Prequel support. Stopee recommends downloading or exporting any important files before requesting deletion, as this action is usually permanent.

Understanding refunds and billing disputes

What refund policies actually apply to you

Refunds for Prequel subscriptions depend entirely on where you purchased the subscription. If you bought through Apple App Store, Apple's refund policy applies. If you bought through Google Play, Google's policy applies. If you bought directly from Prequel's website, Prequel's own refund terms apply. Unfortunately, refunds are not automatic or guaranteed in most cases.

Requesting refunds through apple and google

Apple typically allows refund requests within 14 days of purchase if you believe you were charged in error or didn't authorise the charge. To request an Apple refund, visit Apple Support online, select your purchase, and explain your reason for the refund request. Apple reviews your claim and usually responds within 48 hours. Google Play offers a similar 48-hour window for subscription refunds. To request a Google refund, open Google Play, navigate to your purchases, select Prequel, and tap Request refund. Explain your reason clearly.

Pro tip: Mention "billing error" or "unauthorised charge" rather than "changed my mind" if applicable, as these reasons receive faster approval from Apple and Google.

Direct purchase refunds and billing errors

If you purchased Prequel directly through the company's website, contact their support team with your receipt and your refund request. Be clear about why you deserve a refund (for example, technical fault, duplicate charge, or misleading information about features). Keep copies of all correspondence. If Prequel refuses your refund claim and you believe you have grounds under Singapore's Consumer Protection Act, escalate your complaint to CASE or IMDA.

Prequel pricing in singapore and subscription plans

What you need to know about prequel's costs

Prequel offers subscription tiers designed for different usage levels and budgets. The exact SGD pricing you see depends on your device (iPhone or Android), current promotions, and the payment method you use. Below is a reference table showing typical pricing in USD; your actual charges will appear in SGD in your app store before you confirm payment.

Stopee notes that the free tier of Prequel is genuinely functional for casual editing, so consider trying it before purchasing any subscription.

Common mistakes people make when cancelling prequel

Why cancellation feels confusing

It's frustrating when a simple cancellation requires navigating multiple menus and unfamiliar systems. Many users struggle because they expect to cancel within the app, but app store subscriptions must be cancelled through the store itself. Others miss confirmation emails or forget to verify that cancellation actually took effect. Stopee is here to help you avoid these traps.

Mistake one: trying to cancel inside the prequel app itself

The Prequel app typically does not include a direct cancellation button. Many users search the Settings menu inside Prequel and assume they can cancel there. You cannot. If your subscription is through Apple or Google, you must exit the app and cancel through your device's settings or the respective app store. If you cancel only within Prequel's app (if such an option even exists), your auto-renewal will continue and you'll be charged at the next renewal date.

Mistake two: cancelling but forgetting to confirm

Both Apple and Google ask you to confirm your cancellation. Some users click Cancel Subscription, see a confirmation prompt, and accidentally dismiss it without confirming. The subscription remains active. Always read the on-screen message carefully and deliberately click the final confirm button. Stopee recommends screenshotting the confirmation message as proof.

Mistake three: not checking your email or losing the confirmation

Apple and Google send cancellation confirmations by email. If you delete or miss this email, you have no proof of cancellation if a dispute arises later. Save all subscription-related emails in a dedicated folder. If you cannot find a confirmation email, log back into your app store account immediately and verify that Prequel no longer shows as an active subscription.

Mistake four: confusing cancellation with account deletion

Cancelling your Prequel subscription does not delete your account or your edited photos. If you want your account completely removed and all data erased, you must explicitly request account deletion through Prequel support. Many users assume cancellation does this automatically and are surprised to find their account still exists months later.

Checklist before and after you cancel

Your pre-cancellation checklist

Use this checklist to ensure you're prepared before you cancel Prequel:

• Decide which cancellation method applies to you (Apple, Google, or direct web).
• Log into your account and locate your current subscription tier and renewal date.
• Take a screenshot of your current subscription details as proof.
• Check your email for any Prequel purchase receipts or subscription confirmations.
• Download or export any edited photos or videos you want to keep.
• Note the exact date you want cancellation to take effect.

Your post-cancellation checklist

After you complete the cancellation steps, verify success with this checklist:

• Wait 5 to 10 minutes for the system to process your cancellation.
• Check your email for a cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or Prequel.
• Log back into your account and confirm Prequel no longer appears in your active subscriptions.
• Save the cancellation confirmation email in a safe folder or take a screenshot.
• Set a reminder on your phone for your subscription end date to verify you're not charged after that date.
• Monitor your bank account or payment method for unexpected charges in the following weeks.

How to contact prequel if you need escalation support

When to reach out to prequel directly

Contact Prequel support if you cannot cancel through your app store, if you're charged after cancellation, or if you believe you're owed a refund. Stopee recommends trying self-service cancellation first, but don't hesitate to escalate if it fails or if you encounter a billing error.

Prequel support contact information

You can reach Prequel for cancellation help and refund inquiries at the following addresses:

• Primary legal office: Prequel Skin LLC, California, USA. This is the company's main corporate office and the appropriate address for formal cancellation letters or disputes.
• UK support address: London, United Kingdom. This address is listed in Prequel's cancellation templates and may process cancellation requests faster for international users.
• Email: Check Prequel's official website or your subscription confirmation email for the most current support email address. Stopee recommends contacting support through the official Prequel website rather than replying to promotional emails.

When you write to Prequel, include your full name, email address, account email, purchase date, subscription plan, and the reason for your cancellation or refund request. Keep a copy of your letter and send it via registered mail or email with read receipt enabled.

Escalating to consumer protection authorities in singapore

If Prequel fails to honour your cancellation, refuses to refund a billing error, or continues charging you after you cancel, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or the Info-communications Media Development Authority (IMDA). Both organisations handle subscription billing disputes and can pressure companies to comply with Singapore's Consumer Protection Act. Stopee recommends gathering all evidence (emails, screenshots, payment receipts) before lodging your complaint.
