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