Modern smartphones based on Android often become a platform for convenient, but sometimes intrusive access to digital content. Operator users MegaFon often face a situation where the desired subscription to an online cinema Ivi turns into a permanent expense item due to forgotten auto-renewal. Disabling such a service can seem like a confusing process, especially if you activated it through a mobile account or trial period.
Properly managing subscriptions on your device requires understanding the difference between deleting the application itself ivi.ru and directly canceling recurring payments. Many users mistakenly believe that removing the icon from the screen solves the problem, however, debits from the account MegaFon continue until the service is officially canceled in your personal account or Google Play settings.
In this guide we will analyze in detail all possible ways to stop paying for the service Ivi for subscribers MegaFon on devices with an operating system Android. We will consider both standard methods of disabling through the phone settings, and specific procedures for telecom operator tariffs, so that you can be guaranteed to stop charges and regain control over your budget.
Analysis of the subscription connection type
Before taking active steps to disable it, you need to determine exactly how your subscription was activated Ivi. The sequence of your actions and the place where you need to look for the cancel button directly depend on this factor. There are two main scenarios for integrating the service with your smartphone and operator.
The first option is connecting via direct payment from a phone account. In this case, the contract is concluded directly between you and the operator MegaFon, and the service Ivi acts only as a content provider. The second option is subscription via Google Play, where the payment goes through a Google account, and the telecom operator only provides an Internet channel or acts as a payment agent in the background.
To understand the type of connection, go to the application Ivi on your Android device and go to the profile section. Pay attention to the "Payment" or "Subscription" section. If the payment method “Phone account” or logo MegaFon is indicated there without being linked to a card, it means that control is carried out through the operator. If you see a linked bank card or mention Google Play, the procedure will be different.
⚠️ Attention: Incorrect definition of the subscription type may lead to you disabling the service in the wrong place, and the money will continue write off. Carefully check the payment history in the bank application or in SMS notifications from MegaFon.
Disablement through Google Play settings on Android
If your subscription was purchased through the app store Google Play, then it is managed exclusively in the settings of your Google account on your smartphone. The operator MegaFon in this case does not have the technical ability to cancel the subscription, since it only executes the payment at the request of Google Corporation.
First, open the application Play Market on your device Android. Click on your profile icon in the upper right corner of the screen. In the menu that opens, select Payments and subscriptions, and then go to the Subscriptionssection. Here you will see a complete list of all active recurring payments linked to your Google account.
Find the service in the list Ivy and click on it. You will see detailed information about the tariff, the date of the next debit and payment history. To stop service, press the button Cancel subscription. The system may offer you a pause or change of tariff, but you need to insist on a complete cancellation, following the screen prompts until the final confirmation.
- 📱 Make sure that you are logged in to the exact Google account from which the purchase was made.
- 💳 Check whether there is a bank card linked to the subscription, which may be charged if payment from your phone account fails.
- 🔄 After cancellation, the subscription status will change to "Expiring" and access will remain until the end of the paid period.
After canceling your subscription on Google Play, it is recommended to take a screenshot of the screen confirming the cancellation. This can serve as evidence in case of disputes with the support service.
Service management through MegaFon services
In the case when payment is made directly from the mobile number account MegaFon, disconnection must be done through the operator’s service management channels. This can be done in several ways: through a mobile application, a personal account on the website, or using USSD commands. The choice of method depends on your convenience and the availability of the Internet.
The most obvious way is to use the official application MegaFon. After authorization by phone number, go to the Services or Subscriptionssection. A list of all active paid options, including content subscriptions, is often generated here. Find Ivy in the list and click the button Disable or Remove.
An alternative option is to use USSD requests. While there is no one universal command for all content subscriptions, the command to disable all paid subscriptions often works. Try entering the code *152*2# or *105*055#on your phone. Follow the voice menu or text instructions on the screen to confirm the refusal of services.
| Control method | Action | Advantage |
|---|---|---|
| MegaFon application | Section "Services" -> Disconnection | Visual interface, transaction history |
| Personal account (Web) | "Subscriptions" tab | Convenient from a computer, detailed information |
| USSD command | Dial the number *152*2# | Works without the Internet, quickly |
| Support chat | Request the operator via the website | Specialist help in difficult cases |
If the above codes do not work, up-to-date information can always be found in the help section inside the operator's application or on the official portal.

Prevention of unexpected incidents write-offs
To prevent the situation with a forgotten subscription from happening again in the future, it is useful to implement several digital security rules when using services on Android. Today's digital services market often uses an "easy sign-up" model, where activating a trial requires just one click, and canceling requires going through several menus.
It is recommended to regularly check the active subscriptions section of your Google account and your carrier account. Set a calendar reminder a couple of days before your free trial ends if you plan to use it. This will allow you to make an informed decision about extending or disabling the service before real money is written off.

Read the terms and conditions carefully before clicking the “Accept” or “Pay” button, especially if the amount is indicated as “0 rub.” with a note about subsequent auto-renewal.
Is it possible to disable an Evie subscription via SMS?
There is usually no direct command to disable a specific Evie subscription via one SMS. However, you can send STOP to the short number from which debit notifications are received (if such a number is indicated in the SMS). A more reliable way is to use USSD codes or the operator's application.
How long does access last after canceling the subscription?

What to do if the money is debited after disconnection?
If the charge occurred after the cancellation date, immediately contact support of the service through which the payment was made (MegaFon or Google Play). Provide a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation. In most cases, funds are returned or bonuses are credited to the account.
Does deleting a Google account affect your subscription?

To cancel it, you need to log into your account (from any device) and cancel the service in the settings, or delete the account completely (which will result in the loss of all data).
How to check whether the subscription is disabled?
The best way to check is to go to the "Subscriptions" section in Google Play or "Services" in the MegaFon application. The service status should be displayed as "Expiring" with a specific date or "Inactive". You will also stop receiving SMS about renewal.
