- Contact Newsweek first and keep records of your cancellation request and responses.
- If unsatisfied, you can file a complaint with UAE authorities such as the Ministry of Economy: economy.gov.ae.
- For emirate-level assistance, seek your local Department of Economic Development (e.g., ded.ae for Dubai-related matters).

These issues have been raised on various review platforms and should be weighed when deciding how you subscribed (direct vs. app store).

Proof to keep after cancelling

Common mistakes
Timing errors
Waiting until the last day to cancel: Apple requires >24 hours, and Newsweek.com requests at least five working days’ notice to avoid the next billing.
If you miss the cutoff you will often be charged for the next period and refunds are not guaranteed.
Cancelling the wrong account or store
Many users contact Newsweek but originally subscribed via Apple or Google Play; the store where you purchased controls renewal for that purchase.
Verify which account was used before submitting cancellation requests to the wrong provider.
