How to Cancel UK ETA and Get a Refund
UK ETA 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 UK ETA billing.
Cancel UK ETA 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 UK ETA 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 UK ETA until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.
Cancel UK ETA on Android
- 1Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- 2Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
- 3Select UK ETA from your list of subscriptions.
- 4Tap Cancel subscription and choose a reason when prompted.
- 5Confirm the cancellation. Uninstalling UK ETA on its own does not stop billing, you must cancel the subscription here.
How to get a refund for UK ETA
Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge you already paid. Request the refund from the store separately.
Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the UK ETA charge, choose Request a refund, pick a reason and submit.
Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the UK ETA purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.
What UK ETA users report about billing
Users frequently report technical issues such as app crashes, freezes, and server errors ('system busy'). Many complain about payment failures requiring them to restart the entire process. The app is also criticized for poor usability, including difficulties with passport scanning, photo uploads, and lack of support for non-Euro currencies.

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