What is YouTube
Overview
YouTube is a global video-sharing platform owned by Google that offers free access to videos and a paid subscription service called YouTube Premium (which includes YouTube Music).
The paid service removes ads, enables background play and offline downloads, and offers family plan options for multiple users.
Scope in the UAE
YouTube services are available in the United Arab Emirates and follow global YouTube terms supplemented by platform-specific rules (Apple App Store or Google Play) when you subscribe through those stores.
Billing currency and prices for UAE are shown in AED and may reflect regional price updates.
How to cancel YouTube
Cancel via the Web (recommended)
- Go to youtube.com/paid_memberships.
- Sign in with the Google account that holds the subscription.
- Find the subscription (YouTube Premium or Music) and click Cancel or Manage to stop auto-renewal.
- Follow on-screen confirmation to finalize cancellation.
Cancel via mobile stores (iOS / Android)
- If you subscribed through the Apple App Store, open your Apple ID subscriptions and cancel via Apple. Apple handles billing and cancellations for App Store purchases.
- If you subscribed via Google Play on Android, open the Google Play Store → Menu → Subscriptions and cancel the YouTube subscription there.
- Note: If you signed up through a third party (carrier, bundled offer), cancel through that provider’s portal.
What happens when you cancel
Access and renewal
Cancellation stops future renewals but does not immediately remove service access.
You will keep Premium features until the end of your current billing period.
Data and account status
Cancelling a subscription does not delete your YouTube account, uploads or playlists.
Any downloads or offline content requiring an active subscription will become unavailable after access ends.
Will I get a refund?
General subscription refunds
YouTube does not provide refunds or credits for partially used billing periods after cancellation.
Cancellation takes effect at period end; charges already billed are typically non-refundable.
Exceptions and purchases
- Purchases or rentals: you may cancel and request a refund within 7 working days if you have not started using the content.
- Defective or unavailable content: you may request a refund at any time if the paid service is defective or unavailable, subject to policy review.
- App Store purchases: refunds for items bought via Apple must be requested from Apple; their refund policy applies.

Customer experiences
Positive feedback

Many appreciate ad-free viewing and the integrated YouTube Music experience with Premium.
Negative feedback

Documentation checklist
What to have ready
- Email address used for the YouTube/Google account.

- Device type and store used for purchase (YouTube web, Google Play, or App Store).
When contacting support
- Have account ID and approximate billing dates ready.

Common mistakes
Canceling in the wrong place
Users often try to cancel on youtube.com when the subscription was purchased through Apple or Google Play.
If you bought via the App Store or Play Store you must cancel via that store to stop renewals and manage refunds.
Assuming immediate access loss or refunds
Some expect immediate access loss after canceling; however, access remains until the period end.
Others assume they will get a partial-period refund automatically; partial refunds are generally not offered.
