Store purchases use store terms; print and digital products can differ.
What they don't tell you
- App-store subscriptions must be canceled with that store. Print and digital products can have different management details.
If you subscribed through Apple
The Washington Post cannot cancel a subscription that Apple bills. On your iPhone open
Settings, tap your name, then Subscriptions, choose The Washington Post and cancel there.
Check the receipt: if it came from Apple, that is your route.
Check the biller first
Direct; Apple; Google Play/Google News; Amazon. If Apple, Google Play, Amazon, PayPal, a carrier, or another partner appears on the receipt, cancel with that provider instead of using the merchant's direct route.
