How to Cancel Khan Academy and Get a Refund
Khan Academy 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 Khan Academy billing.
Cancel Khan Academy 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 Khan Academy 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 Khan Academy until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.

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