Cancel Showtime: Easy Method

What is SHOWTIME

Service overview

SHOWTIME is a subscription streaming service that offers movies, series and original programming. It is available through multiple platforms including web, iOS (App Store) and Android (Google Play).

How it is delivered

Subscriptions can be billed directly by SHOWTIME or via third parties (Apple, Google, or bundled with other services). Billing terms and cancellation methods depend on the platform you used to subscribe.

How to cancel SHOWTIME

If you subscribed via App Store (iOS)

• Open Settings on your iPhone/iPad.
• Tap your name, then Subscriptions.
• Select SHOWTIME and choose Cancel Subscription.
• For refunds, use App Store's Report a Problem.

If you subscribed via Google Play (Android)

• Open the Play Store app and tap your profile icon.
• Go to Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.
• Select SHOWTIME → Manage → Cancel subscription.
• To request a refund, use the Play Store subscription page and choose "Request a refund", then explain your case.

If you subscribed on the web (SHOWTIME website)

• Sign in at the SHOWTIME account page and locate subscription settings.
• Follow the on-screen option to cancel; your access remains until period end.
• If you need help, consult the SHOWTIME Help Center or Terms of Use: SHOWTIME Terms.

What happens when you cancel

Access after cancellation

When you cancel, your SHOWTIME access continues until the end of your current paid billing cycle. You can continue to watch until that date.

Renewal and billing

Cancellation prevents the next billing cycle; it does not create a refund for the unused portion of the current period. No prorated refunds are issued under standard terms.

Account and data

Your account remains active until the subscription period ends. Account data (watch history, preferences) may be retained per SHOWTIME's data policies.

Will I get a refund?

SHOWTIME refund policy

SHOWTIME maintains a strict no-refund policy: fees are non-refundable and no partial refund is provided if you cancel mid-billing period. See SHOWTIME terms: SHOWTIME Terms.

Platform exceptions and requests

• Apple App Store refunds must be requested via Report a Problem.
• Google Play refunds are handled through the Play Store "Request a refund" flow; explain your situation when prompted.
• Any credit or refund outside these routes is at SHOWTIME’s sole discretion.

Your consumer rights in Nigeria

Disclosure and transparency

Nigerian consumer protection expects digital services to clearly disclose cancellation and refund terms. SHOWTIME’s published policy (no refunds, cancellation effective at period end) must be accessible to subscribers.

Escalation and remedies

• There is generally no statutory right to a refund for digital subscriptions once service access has begun.
• If terms were not disclosed or there is billing error, escalate to SHOWTIME support first and keep documentation.
• Unresolved billing disputes can be taken to local consumer protection agencies in Nigeria.

Customer experiences

Common complaints

Many users report being charged for a full month despite cancelling shortly before renewal and not receiving a refund. This is a frequent source of frustration.

Third-party billing confusion

Users also report confusion when subscriptions were included in third-party bundles (e.g., Amazon, Roku). In those cases billing and cancellation are managed by the bundle provider, which can complicate the process.

Documentation checklist

Before contacting support

• Have the email address used for the subscription ready.
• Note the date/time you cancelled and the platform used (App Store, Google Play, web, or third party).
• Keep transaction receipts or bank/card statements showing the charge.

If you escalate outside SHOWTIME

• Collect screenshots of subscription settings and cancellation confirmation if available.
• Keep copies of all communications with SHOWTIME, Apple, or Google Play support.
• Record the billing merchant name as it appears on your statement.

Common mistakes

Timing errors

Many subscribers wait until the last day and assume cancellation will prevent the upcoming charge. If cancellation is processed after the billing date, you may still be charged for the next period.

Confusing the billing party

Another common mistake is attempting to cancel via SHOWTIME when billing is handled by Apple, Google, or a bundle partner. If you subscribed through a third party, you must cancel with that provider to stop charges.

Comparative recap

Quick comparison

Notes

Keep documentation and act promptly when you spot unexpected charges. Platform-specific refund routes are usually faster for recoveries.

After cancelling

Next steps to verify cancellation

• Check your SHOWTIME account subscription status and email for confirmation.
• Review your next billing date and bank/card statement to confirm no new charge occurs.
