How to Cancel Google Translate and Get a Refund

- 2Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID.

- 4Find Google Translate in the list and tap it. If it is not there, you may have subscribed through the app itself or a different Apple ID.

How to get a refund for Google Translate
Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge you already paid. Request the refund from the store separately.

Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the Google Translate purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.

Google Translate cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Google Translate 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 Google Translate will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Google Translate?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Google Translate directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Google Translate 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 Google Translate still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Google Translate 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 Google Translate account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Google Translate 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 Google Translate right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Google Translate 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.
