After cancellation you will receive a notification by email linked to your account. The subscription will be valid until the end of the paid period —for example, if you canceled it on the 15th, and payment was made before the 30th, access to premium features will remain until the 30th inclusive. This rule works for all tariffs, except for the trial period (more about it below).

⚠️ Attention: If you do not see the button Cancel subscription, it is probably issued through Google Play or a telecom operator. In this case, proceed to the relevant sections of the article.

Cancel a subscription issued through Google Play

If you paid for the subscription through Google Play (this can be seen in the receipt or in the purchase history), you need to cancel it in the settings Android. This method is relevant for users who:

  • 📱 Installed the application via Play Market and paid for the subscription there
  • 💳 Linked the card to Google Account, and not to Yandex
  • 🎁 Received a subscription as a gift through Google Play

How to cancel a subscription through a telecom operator (MTS, Beeline, Megafon, Tele2)

Below are instructions for popular operators. If yours is not on the list, use the universal method: call the hotline (the number is usually listed on the operator’s website) and ask to disable the Yandex Music or Yandex Plus service.

Operator Cancellation method USSD command (if any)
MTS Personal Account → Services → Yandex Music → Disable *111*789#
Beeline My Beeline Application → Services → Entertainment → Yandex Music *110*789#

What to do if the subscription is not cancelled: common problems and solutions

Sometimes users are faced with the fact that the cancel button is inactive, the subscription “hangs” after disconnecting, or money continues to be debited. Let's look at typical scenarios and ways to solve them.
