If you primarily use your phone for streaming, understanding how to manage your subscription directly from your device is essential.

Canceling Peacock on your phone might seem straightforward, but the process can vary depending on how you initially subscribed—through the app store, the Peacock website, or another platform. Navigating these options can sometimes be confusing, especially if you want to avoid unexpected charges or ensure your access ends exactly when you intend. Knowing the right steps can save you time and hassle.

This article will guide you through the essentials of canceling your Peacock subscription using your phone. Whether you’re an Android or iPhone user, we’ll provide a clear overview to help you take control of your streaming service with confidence. Get ready to learn how to manage your Peacock account seamlessly from the palm of your hand.

Canceling Peacock Subscription Through iPhone or Android Devices

If you subscribed to Peacock via your mobile device, the cancellation process depends on whether the subscription was made through the Apple App Store on iOS or the Google Play Store on Android. This distinction is crucial because Peacock does not handle billing directly for these subscriptions; instead, Apple and Google manage payments and subscription status.

For iPhone users, canceling your Peacock subscription requires accessing your Apple ID subscriptions:

  • Open the Settings app on your iPhone.
  • Tap your name at the top to access Apple ID settings.
  • Select Subscriptions.
  • Find and tap on your Peacock subscription.
  • Choose Cancel Subscription and confirm the cancellation.

The subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle, after which it will not renew.

For Android users, canceling through the Google Play Store involves:

  • Opening the Google Play Store app.
  • Tapping the profile icon in the top right corner.
  • Selecting Payments & subscriptions.
  • Choosing Subscriptions.
  • Locating and tapping Peacock.
  • Selecting Cancel subscription and following the prompts.

Similar to iOS, the subscription remains active until the paid period ends.

Canceling Peacock Subscription via Peacock App

If you subscribed directly through Peacock using the app without going through Apple or Google, you can cancel your subscription from within the app or the Peacock website. However, this method is less common for phone subscriptions as most mobile users subscribe via app stores.

To cancel directly through the Peacock app:

  • Open the Peacock app on your phone.
  • Tap your profile icon or menu option, usually located in the bottom or top corner.
  • Navigate to Account Settings or Subscription.
  • Select Manage Subscription.
  • Choose Cancel Subscription and follow the on-screen instructions.

If the app does not provide a cancellation option, you may need to log into your account on the Peacock website on a mobile browser and cancel from there.

Important Considerations When Canceling Peacock on Your Phone

Keep these points in mind to ensure a smooth cancellation process:

  • Billing Platform Matters: Always cancel through the platform where you originally subscribed (Apple, Google, or Peacock directly).
  • Billing Cycle: You retain access until the end of your current billing period, so cancellation doesn’t take effect immediately.
  • No Refunds: Peacock generally does not offer refunds for partial billing periods.
  • Reactivation: You can reactivate your subscription anytime by signing back in and subscribing again.
  • Multiple Devices: Canceling on one device cancels the subscription across all devices linked to your account.
Subscription Platform Where to Cancel Cancellation Effect Access After Cancellation
Apple App Store (iPhone) iPhone Settings > Apple ID > Subscriptions Cancel subscription renewal Access until billing period ends
Google Play Store (Android) Google Play Store app > Payments & subscriptions > Subscriptions Cancel subscription renewal Access until billing period ends
Direct Peacock Subscription Peacock app or website > Account Settings > Manage Subscription Cancel subscription renewal Access until billing period ends

  2. Tap your name at the top to access Apple ID settings.
  3. Select Subscriptions.

Jessica Tran (Digital Subscription Analyst, Streaming Insights Group). When canceling Peacock on your phone, it is crucial to identify the platform through which you subscribed—whether directly via the Peacock app or through a third-party app store like Google Play or Apple App Store.
