How to cancel The Washington Post

Cancelling an App Store (iOS) subscription - common for Nigeria

Cancelling a web subscription or direct account

What happens when you cancel

When you cancel, your subscription typically remains active until the end of the current billing period. You retain access through that date unless the provider states otherwise.

Renewal and account data

Automatic renewal stops after cancellation. Your account and reading history may remain associated with your account; you can request data deletion via support.

Will I get a refund?

• If you subscribed through the App Store, request a refund from Apple via Report a Problem.

Documentation checklist

What to collect before contacting support

• Account email associated with The Washington Post.
• Order receipt or subscription confirmation (App Store receipt or email).
• Subscription start and renewal dates and the platform used to subscribe (App Store, web, reseller).

Helpful extras to include

• Payment method details (last four digits of card), Apple ID if via iOS, or screenshots showing the subscription listing.
• Any correspondence with support and a clear statement of requested outcome (cancel only, cancel + refund, data deletion).

Common mistakes

Not checking where you subscribed

Many people try to cancel on the publisher website when they actually subscribed through the App Store. This delays cancellation; always confirm the purchase source first.

Missing proof of purchase

Submitting requests without receipts or unclear account details leads to slower resolution. Keep and attach the App Store receipt or confirmation email when possible.
