Why is PressReader: News & Magazines still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows PressReader: News & Magazines 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.

Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the PressReader: News & Magazines app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
