Cancel Paramount Plus directly in the Google Play Store

The fastest way to cancel Paramount Plus on Android is through the Google Play Store, where you manage all your subscriptions. Open the Play Store app, tap your profile icon in the top right corner, then select Payments and subscriptions. From there, tap Subscriptions to see all active subscriptions, find Paramount Plus in the list, and tap it.

Once you open the Paramount Plus subscription details, you will see a Cancel subscription button. Tap it, and the app will ask you to confirm the cancellation. You may see a retention offer — Paramount Plus sometimes shows a discount to keep you subscribed. You can accept the offer or proceed with cancellation. After you confirm, your subscription ends on your next billing date, not when ready.

Your access continues until that final billing date. You will receive a confirmation email from Google Play, and your payment method will no longer be charged after the cancellation takes effect.

Key Takeaways

  • Open the Google Play Store app, go to your profile, select Payments and subscriptions, then Subscriptions, and find Paramount Plus to cancel it.
  • Cancellation takes effect on your next billing date, so you keep access to the service until then.
  • Paramount Plus may offer a discount to keep you subscribed — you can accept or decline before confirming cancellation.
  • If you signed up through Paramount Plus directly instead of the Play Store, you must cancel through the Paramount Plus app or website instead.
  • Check your email for a confirmation message from Google Play after you cancel to verify the subscription has been removed.

What happens to your account after cancellation

Once your subscription ends on the final billing date, you lose access to Paramount Plus content. You cannot watch shows, movies, or live TV, and you cannot read episodes to watch offline. Your account and viewing history remain saved for 10 months, so if you resubscribe within that window, your watchlist and progress return.

After 10 months of inactivity, Paramount Plus deletes your account data. If you want to keep your watchlist and viewing history, take a screenshot of your favorites before the subscription ends, or resubscribe before the 10-month window closes.

Cancel through the Paramount Plus app if you signed up directly

If you created your Paramount Plus account on the Paramount Plus website or app rather than through the Google Play Store, you cannot cancel through the Play Store. Instead, open the Paramount Plus app on your Android phone, tap the menu icon (three horizontal lines) in the bottom right, and select Account.

Scroll down and tap Manage subscription or Subscription details. This opens your account page in a web browser. Look for a Cancel subscription or Downgrade button. Tap it, confirm your cancellation, and you will receive an email confirmation from Paramount Plus directly.

Subscriptions purchased directly from Paramount Plus also end on your next billing date. Your access continues until then, and you will not be charged again after cancellation takes effect.

Check your payment method if cancellation does not work

If you tap Cancel subscription but the button does not respond, or if you receive an error message, try clearing the Google Play Store cache. Go to your phone's Settings, select Apps or process Manager, find Google Play Store, tap Storage, and select Clear Cache. Then open the Play Store again and try canceling.

If the problem persists, contact Google Play Support directly. Open the Play Store, tap your profile icon, select Settings, scroll to the bottom, and tap Help and feedback. Describe the issue, and Google Play will walk you through next steps or cancel the subscription manually on their end.

Avoid accidental resubscription after you cancel

After you cancel, do not tap any "Subscribe now" buttons or promotional links in the Paramount Plus app, as these will restart your subscription when ready. If you want to keep the app installed but avoid resubscribing by accident, you can uninstall it after cancellation takes effect.

If you accidentally resubscribe within 48 hours of canceling, you can request a refund from Google Play. Open the Play Store, go to your profile, select Payments and subscriptions, tap Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and look for a Request refund option. Google Play refunds accidental purchases within this window, though the option may not appear if more time has passed.

Downgrade to a cheaper plan instead of canceling

Paramount Plus offers multiple subscription tiers: a standard plan with ads, a standard plan without ads, and a premium plan. If you want to keep the service but pay less, you can downgrade instead of canceling. Open the Google Play Store, go to Subscriptions, select Paramount Plus, and look for a Change plan or Downgrade option.

Select the cheaper tier, confirm the change, and your new price takes effect on your next billing date. You keep your account, watchlist, and viewing history. If you later decide to cancel entirely, you can return to the Play Store and cancel the downgraded plan using the same steps as a full cancellation.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will I get a refund if I cancel in the middle of my billing cycle?

No. Paramount Plus and Google Play do not refund unused portions of your subscription. Your access continues until your next billing date, and you are not charged again after that date. If you were charged twice by mistake, contact Google Play Support within 48 hours to request a refund.

Can I cancel Paramount Plus if I signed up through a bundle or another service?

If you subscribed to Paramount Plus as part of a bundle (such as through Amazon Prime Video Channels or another service), you must cancel through that service, not through the Google Play Store. Open the service where you signed up, find Paramount Plus in your subscriptions, and cancel there. Canceling through Google Play will not work if you did not sign up directly through the Play Store.

What if I forgot my Paramount Plus password and cannot access my account?

You can still cancel through the Google Play Store without logging into Paramount Plus. Open the Play Store, go to Subscriptions, find Paramount Plus, and tap Cancel subscription. The Play Store handles the cancellation on Google's side. If you signed up directly with Paramount Plus and cannot remember your password, visit the Paramount Plus website, select Forgot password, and reset it using your email address.

How long does it take for cancellation to show up in my account?

Cancellation appears in the Google Play Store when ready after you confirm it, but your access continues until your next billing date. You will receive a confirmation email within a few minutes. If you do not see the cancellation reflected in the Play Store after 10 minutes, try refreshing the app or restarting your phone.

Can I cancel Paramount Plus on my Android phone if I signed up on a computer?

Yes. As long as you signed up through the Google Play Store (whether on phone or computer), you can cancel from your Android phone using the Play Store app. If you signed up directly on the Paramount Plus website through a computer, you can cancel through the Paramount Plus app on Android, or you can log into the website on your phone's browser and cancel there.
