How to Cancel ABC Kids and Get a Refund

ABC Kids 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 ABC Kids billing.

Cancel ABC Kids on iPhone (iOS)

  1. 1Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad.
  2. 2Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID.
  3. 3Tap Subscriptions to see every app that bills you through Apple.
  4. 4Find ABC Kids in the list and tap it. If it is not there, you may have subscribed through the app itself or a different Apple ID.
  5. 5Tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. You keep access to ABC Kids until the current billing period ends, then it will not renew.

Cancel ABC Kids on Android

  1. 1Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
  2. 2Tap your profile icon, then Payments & subscriptions, then Subscriptions.
  3. 3Select ABC Kids from your list of subscriptions.

  5. 5Confirm the cancellation. Uninstalling ABC Kids on its own does not stop billing, you must cancel the subscription here.

How to get a refund for ABC Kids

Canceling stops future renewals but does not refund a charge you already paid. Request the refund from the store separately.

iPhone (Apple)

Go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in with your Apple ID, find the ABC Kids charge, choose Request a refund, pick a reason and submit.

Android (Google)

Open the Play Store, go to your order history, select the ABC Kids purchase, tap Report a problem and request a refund. Requests within 48 hours are often auto-approved.

ABC Kids cancellation: frequently asked questions

Does canceling ABC Kids 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 ABC Kids will not charge you again. If you were charged unexpectedly, request a refund separately.

Can I get a refund from ABC Kids?

Refunds are handled by Apple or Google, not by ABC Kids directly. On iPhone, go to reportaproblem.apple.com, sign in, find the ABC Kids 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 ABC Kids still charging me after I canceled?

The most common causes: the cancellation did not finish (check that Subscriptions shows ABC Kids 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 App Store subscription settings to be sure.

How do I delete my ABC Kids account?

Deleting your account is separate from canceling the subscription. To remove your data, delete the account inside the ABC Kids app settings first, then cancel the subscription in the App Store and uninstall the app. Canceling alone does not erase your account.

Will I lose access to ABC Kids right after I cancel?

No. You keep full access to ABC Kids 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.
