How to Cancel Opera GX and Get a Refund

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

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

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