How to Cancel Permission Guard and Get a Refund
Permission Guard 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 Permission Guard billing.
Cancel Permission Guard on iPhone (iOS)
- 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 Permission Guard 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 Permission Guard until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.
Cancel Permission Guard on Android
- 1Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- 2Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- 3Select Permission Guard from your list of subscriptions.

Permission Guard cancellation: frequently asked questions
Does canceling Permission Guard 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 Permission Guard will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.
Can I get a refund from Permission Guard?
Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by Permission Guard directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the Permission Guard 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 Permission Guard still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Permission Guard 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 Google Play subscription settings to be sure.
How do I delete my Permission Guard account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Permission Guard app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the Google Play and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
Will I lose access to Permission Guard right after I cancel?
No. You keep full access to Permission Guard 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.
