How to Cancel Steam Mobile and Get a Refund
Steam Mobile 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 Steam Mobile billing.

- 1Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
- 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 Steam Mobile 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 Steam Mobile until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.
Cancel Steam Mobile on Android

- 2Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.

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