- 2Tap your name at the top of the screen to open your Apple ID.

How to get a refund for The Mirror

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

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