Subscription Yandex Plus automatically renews every month by debiting money from the linked card - and many users Android face unexpected payments. You can cancel it in 5 minutes, but the service interface is specially complicated: the disable buttons are hidden in the depths of the menu, and they are not there at all in the mobile application.
