What happens when you cancel
Access and billing
Cancelling stops automatic renewal of your subscription but does not immediately remove access in most cases.
You typically retain access until the end of the current paid billing period.
Account and data
Your Meitu account, edits and downloaded content usually remain unless you delete the account. Canceling a subscription does not automatically delete personal data.
If you wish to remove data entirely, request account deletion through Meitu's account settings or support channels.
Will I get a refund?
Meitu refund policy
Meitu's stated policy is that there are no refunds for partial subscription periods or unused content, to the extent permitted by law.
This means refunds are uncommon for unused time after cancellation unless local law requires otherwise.
Exceptions and withdrawal rights
In some jurisdictions a right of withdrawal (full refund) within 14 days may apply if exercised correctly.
To use that right, notify Meitu (for example via email to [email protected] or by mail) and Meitu should refund within 14 days using the original payment method where required by law.

Your consumer rights in South Africa
General protections
South African consumers are protected by the Consumer Protection Act (CPA) and other consumer laws that require fair, transparent terms and remedies for faulty goods or misleading practices.
Online subscriptions are subject to these laws where applicable, but cancellation and refund terms may depend on the contract and how the service was sold.
Steps to assert your rights in South Africa
- Keep evidence: receipts, transaction IDs, screenshots and correspondence with Meitu.
- Contact Meitu first (use your account settings or the compliance email provided above) and request cancellation and any refund you believe you are entitled to.
- If unresolved, contact your payment provider (bank or card issuer) to dispute recurring charges and consider filing with the National Consumer Commission or seeking legal advice.
Customer experiences
Positive feedback
- Users praise high-quality filters, AI beautification and a broad set of editing tools for selfies and videos.
- Some analyses report strong user experience and high safety/legitimacy scores in third-party reviews.
Common complaints
- Reports of app crashes, lag, video editing bugs (audio-video mismatch), disappearing downloads and difficulty restoring purchases.
- Privacy concerns include requests for many permissions and collection of device identifiers, location and SIM information.
Documentation checklist
Required documents
- Order confirmation or receipt showing the subscription charge.
- Account email and username used for Meitu.
- Transaction ID or payment reference from your bank or app store.
Helpful supporting items
- Screenshot of active subscription in App Store/Google Play or Meitu account page.
- Copy of any correspondence with Meitu support, and dates/times of cancellation attempts.
- Bank statement lines showing the charges, if disputing billing with your payment provider.
Common mistakes
Cancelling in the wrong place
Users often try to cancel inside the Meitu app only, but their subscription is billed through Apple or Google and must be cancelled through the relevant store.
If you cancel in the wrong place the subscription may continue to renew until you cancel at the store.
Missing proof or delays
Not saving receipts, transaction IDs or screenshots makes refunds and disputes harder to resolve.
Also, assuming cancellation equals refund is a common error - refunds are separate and depend on policy and law.
