How to Cancel 8 seconds and Get a Refund
8 seconds subscriptions are billed through Apple or Google, not inside the app, so you cancel them in your store settings. Below are the steps for both iPhone and Android, how to request a refund, and what users report about 8 seconds billing.

- 2Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID.
- 3Tap Subscriptions to see every app that bills you through Apple.
- 4Find 8 seconds in the list and tap it. If it is not there, you may have subscribed through the app itself or a different Apple ID.
- 5Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You keep access to 8 seconds until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.

How to get a refund for 8 seconds
Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge you already paid. Request the refund from the store separately.
Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the 8 seconds charge, choose Request a refund, pick a reason and submit.
Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the 8 seconds purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.

8 seconds cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling 8 seconds stop the charges immediately?
No. Canceling stops future renewals but you keep access until the end of the billing period you already paid for. After that date 8 seconds will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from 8 seconds?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by 8 seconds directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the 8 seconds charge and choose Request a refund. On Android, open the Play Store order history, select the purchase and tap Report a problem. Requests made within 48 hours are often approved automatically.
Why is 8 seconds still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows 8 seconds as Expired), you have a second subscription under a different Apple ID or Google account, or you canceled inside the app but not in the store where billing actually lives. Cancel it in the App Store subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my 8 seconds account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the 8 seconds app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to 8 seconds right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to 8 seconds until the paid period ends, so there is no benefit to waiting. Cancel as soon as you decide, and enjoy the remaining days you already paid for.
