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