Why is Google News - Daily Headlines still charging me after I canceled?
The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows Google News - Daily Headlines 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 Google News - Daily Headlines account?
Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the Google News - Daily Headlines app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the Google Play and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.
