How to cancel Manifest subscription in malaysia: your complete legal guide
What Manifest is and why users in malaysia choose to cancel
Manifest is a subscription-based mobile application focused on affirmations, manifestation routines, and goal-tracking features. Users in Malaysia access the service primarily through iOS (App Store) or Android (Google Play), and the app operates on a recurring billing model where charges renew automatically unless you cancel before each renewal date. Many Malaysian users sign up for premium features such as guided manifestation content and members-only functions, only to cancel later when the service no longer fits their needs or budget.
The subscription model and how auto-renewal works
Manifest operates a classic recurring subscription system. The app offers a 7-day free trial for Growth plan subscribers, with automatic billing activated if you do not cancel before the trial expires. Starter and Business plans are billed from your first payment with no trial period, meaning your payment method is charged immediately upon signup. This model means that if you entered your card details during registration, you should assume auto-renewal is active until you actively switch it off.
The app's support hub at help.manifested.com and support email at [email protected] are your primary contact channels for inquiries. Malaysia has no confirmed local office or published phone line for Manifest, so email and in-app support remain your main routes for assistance. Your subscription renewal date varies depending on when you first signed up or last made a payment, and your bank statement typically shows either the platform billing name (Apple or Google) or a direct Manifest entry, depending on your payment method.
Common reasons malaysian users cancel
Users cancel Manifest for several documented reasons: they complete their goal-tracking objectives, find the affirmation content no longer resonates, prefer free alternatives, or simply forgot the subscription was active. Budget constraints also drive cancellations, particularly when users realize the cumulative annual cost. At Yafee, we regularly advise consumers that recognizing the subscription's diminishing value is a valid reason to stop paying, and you have clear legal rights to do so under Malaysian consumer protection law.
Your consumer rights and what malaysian law guarantees
Your right to cancel Manifest is protected by the Consumer Protection Act 1999 (Act 599), which governs all consumer transactions in Malaysia. This framework grants you the right to terminate a service contract, and digital services fall within its scope. Understanding your legal position before you cancel ensures you avoid common pitfalls and can escalate to enforcement bodies if the company refuses to honour your request.
Your legal position under malaysian law
The Consumer Protection Act 1999 protects you as a consumer entering a contract for digital services. Section 103 of the Act grants consumers a cooling-off period of 10 days for distance contracts (those concluded without face-to-face negotiation, such as online app subscriptions). If you cancel within this 10-day window from the date of subscription, you are entitled to a full refund of charges paid, provided you have not materially used the service. After the cooling-off period, you retain the right to cancel at any time, though refunds for post-cooling-off cancellations depend on the terms you agreed to at signup.
Furthermore, the company must provide you with clear, easily accessible cancellation methods that match the ease of subscription. If Manifest makes cancellation deliberately difficult or obscure, this breaches the fair-dealing principle in the Act. The Federation of Malaysian Consumers Associations (FMCA) and the Ministry of Domestic Trade and Cost of Living (KPDNHEP) enforce these protections and will investigate complaints of unfair contract terms or cancellation obstruction.
What happens if the company refuses to cancel
If Manifest refuses your cancellation request or continues billing after you have submitted proof of cancellation, you have a formal escalation route. Document every cancellation attempt you make, including screenshots, email confirmations, and dates. Then lodge a complaint with the KPDNHEP Consumer Affairs Bureau or file a dispute claim through your payment platform (Apple, Google, or your bank). At Yafee, we recommend keeping all correspondence for at least 12 months, as these records form the backbone of any dispute resolution.
Cancellation methods: which route works best for you
Manifest allows cancellation through multiple channels depending on how you subscribed. Your cancellation method depends on whether you pay directly, through Apple App Store, or through Google Play Store, as each platform has different procedures. Cancelling through the wrong channel often fails, leaving users confused and still charged. This section guides you through each method so you cancel with certainty.
Cancel through the Manifest app or web account
The most direct cancellation route is through your Manifest account settings on the app or web platform. This method works for users who subscribed directly to Manifest (not through Apple or Google), and it gives you immediate confirmation of cancellation. Open the app or log into your account at the Manifest website, then navigate to Settings, Account, or Subscription depending on the interface layout.
Once you locate your subscription area, look for options labeled "Manage Subscription," "Billing," "Cancel Subscription," or similar wording. The support hub at help.manifested.com provides screenshots and step-by-step guidance if the menu structure is not immediately obvious. Click the cancellation button and follow the on-screen prompts to confirm. Your access continues until the end of your current billing period, after which the subscription terminates and no further charges apply.
Cancel through apple app store
If you subscribed to Manifest via Apple App Store, you must cancel through your iOS device or Apple Account settings rather than the app itself. Apple manages the billing relationship, not Manifest, so cancelling within the app alone does not stop Apple from charging your card. This is a common error point for iOS users, and addressing it now prevents accidental charges.
Open the Settings app on your iPhone or iPad, tap your name at the top, select "Subscriptions," then locate Manifest in the list. Tap "Manifest" and select "Cancel Subscription." Apple displays the cancellation confirmation immediately, and you retain access until your current billing period ends. You receive a cancellation confirmation email from Apple, which serves as your proof. If Manifest continues billing after this point, escalate to Apple Support directly at support.apple.com.
Cancel through google play store
Android users who subscribed via Google Play Store must cancel through the Play Store app, not the Manifest app itself. Google controls billing authorisation, and cancelling only within Manifest does not prevent Google from charging your linked payment method. Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device, tap your profile icon in the top right, select "Payments and subscriptions," then "Subscriptions."
Find Manifest in the list and tap it. Select "Cancel subscription" and confirm your choice. Google displays your cancellation immediately and your access continues until the current billing period ends. You receive a cancellation confirmation email from Google, which is your official proof. If charges continue after cancellation, contact Google Play Support at support.google.com/googleplay.
Step-by-step cancellation process for malaysian users
This section walks you through the complete cancellation workflow in exact sequence. Follow these steps in order to ensure your cancellation processes successfully and your access terminates at the correct time.
Step 1: verify your subscription details and billing method
Before you cancel, confirm which platform controls your billing. Log into your Manifest account and check the "Subscription" or "Billing" section to see whether you pay directly to Manifest, Apple, or Google. You can also check your email for the most recent subscription receipt, which clearly shows the billing entity. Open your bank statement and search for recent Manifest or Apple or Google charges to confirm the source. This verification prevents you from cancelling in the wrong place and discovering later that you are still charged.
Step 2: screenshot your current subscription details
Take a clear screenshot of your account page showing your plan name, renewal date, and the amount you are charged. Also screenshot any billing confirmation or receipt visible in your account. These images serve as proof of your subscription status if a dispute arises. Save the screenshots to your phone or computer with a dated filename (for example, "Manifest_subscription_2024-01-15.png") so you can locate them quickly if needed.
Step 3: submit your cancellation through your billing channel
- If you pay directly to Manifest, log into your account, navigate to Subscriptions or Billing, and click "Cancel Subscription." Confirm the cancellation and save the confirmation page screenshot.
- Your cancellation is now submitted to Manifest. Retain the confirmation for your records.
- If you pay through Apple App Store, open Settings on your iOS device, tap your name, select Subscriptions, find Manifest, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Immediately screenshot the cancellation confirmation Apple displays.
- Apple confirms cancellation in real time. No further action is needed with Apple.
- If you pay through Google Play Store, open Google Play Store on your Android device, tap your profile, select Payments and Subscriptions, find Manifest, and tap "Cancel Subscription." Screenshot the cancellation confirmation Google displays.
- Google confirms cancellation immediately. Your billing relationship with Google ends.
Step 4: send written confirmation to Manifest support
Even after you cancel through your billing platform, send a follow-up email to [email protected] with your cancellation request. Include your account email address, the date you cancelled, your subscription plan name, and a screenshot of your cancellation confirmation from Apple, Google, or Manifest. Clearly state: "I request final confirmation that my Manifest subscription has been cancelled effective immediately, and no further charges should apply after [current billing period end date]."
This email creates a paper trail and forces the company to respond in writing. If they refuse, you have documented evidence of your cancellation attempt. Save the confirmation email they send back. At Yafee, we advise all users to complete this step because it protects you legally should billing disputes arise later.
Step 5: monitor your next billing cycle
Mark your calendar for the day after your current billing period ends (your renewal date minus one day). On that date, check your bank statement to confirm that no new charge has posted. If a charge appears, you have clear evidence that Manifest continued billing despite your cancellation. Document this charge with a screenshot and immediately contact your bank or payment platform to dispute it. Most banks offer chargebacks for unauthorised recurring charges, and Manifest will be required to prove that you authorised the post-cancellation billing.
What happens after you cancel: access and data retention
Cancelling Manifest does not immediately cut off your access. You retain full app access until the end of your current billing period, after which the premium features lock. Your data remains in your account for a defined period according to Manifest's privacy policy, and you can request deletion subject to legal retention requirements. Understanding the post-cancellation experience prevents frustration and clarifies what you lose and when.
Your access timeline after cancellation
Once you submit your cancellation, your premium access continues until the end of your current billing cycle. If your renewal date is 30 August and you cancel on 20 August, you retain full access to all premium content through 29 August. On 30 August, your subscription expires and the app automatically downgrades to free-tier access, blocking your access to members-only features. This grace period allows you to finish any ongoing manifestation routines or download important notes before full access ends.
Your data after cancellation
Manifest retains your account data (affirmations, goal records, and profile information) according to its privacy policy after cancellation. You may request data deletion by emailing [email protected] with your full name and account email, stating that you request deletion under the Personal Data Protection Act 2010 (PDPA). Manifest must respond to your deletion request within 30 days. If the company does not delete your data or provide proof of deletion within that timeframe, you can escalate to the Personal Data Protection Commissioner (PDPC) for enforcement.
Refunds: when you are entitled to your money back
Your refund entitlement depends on when you cancel relative to your subscription signup date and how much of the service you have used. Malaysian consumer law provides a cooling-off refund window, and certain payment platforms offer additional protections. Understanding your refund rights prevents you from losing money unnecessarily.
Refunds within the 10-day cooling-off period
Under Section 103 of the Consumer Protection Act 1999, you are entitled to a full refund if you cancel within 10 days of your subscription date, provided you have not materially used the service. "Materially used" means you have not downloaded or accessed substantial content, or you have not used the app beyond trial exploration. If you subscribed on 1 January and cancelled on 8 January without using the app extensively, you qualify for a full refund. Submit your cancellation request and include in your email to [email protected] a statement that you are claiming your cooling-off right under the Consumer Protection Act 1999. Request that your refund be processed within 14 days to your original payment method.
Refunds after the cooling-off period
Once the 10-day cooling-off period expires, your refund entitlement depends on the subscription terms you accepted. If Manifest's terms state "no refunds on monthly subscriptions," then you are not entitled to a refund for the current billing period, even if you cancel early. However, if you cancel before your renewal date, you should not be charged for the next period. Consequently, your only financial recovery option after cooling-off is to file a chargeback dispute if the company continues billing after you have submitted cancellation proof. Apple and Google both support chargeback claims for repeated charges after documented cancellation.
Chargeback claims through your payment platform
If Manifest continues charging your card after you have cancelled and provided proof, contact your bank or Apple/Google directly to dispute the charge. Banks typically reverse unauthorised recurring charges within 5-10 business days once you provide evidence of cancellation (screenshots, confirmation emails). This process is called a chargeback, and it is your legal recourse when a merchant refuses to honour your cancellation request. At Yafee, we recommend filing a chargeback within 60 days of the disputed charge to maximise the likelihood of recovery.

Common cancellation mistakes and how to avoid them
Cancellation fails surprisingly often, but most failures stem from simple procedural errors rather than company obstruction. If you know these pitfalls in advance, you will cancel successfully on your first attempt.
Mistake 1: cancelling only through the Manifest app if you pay via apple or google
Many users cancel through the app but do not realise their payment is controlled by Apple or Google. The app shows a cancel option, users click it, and they feel confident their subscription is dead. Then their card is charged again on renewal day because Apple or Google never received the cancellation signal. Your fix: always check your billing method first. If you see Apple or Google in your account settings or on your receipt, cancel through that platform, not the app.
Mistake 2: cancelling on the wrong email address
Some users have multiple email addresses and forget which one is linked to their Manifest subscription. They cancel through an email account, but the app was registered under a different email. Consequently, the cancellation request targets the wrong account and their real subscription continues uninterrupted. Search your inbox for "Manifest" emails and identify which address received the original subscription confirmation. Verify this email matches the one shown in your Manifest account settings before you submit any cancellation request.
Mistake 3: assuming cancellation is complete without written confirmation
Many users cancel through the app, see a confirmation message, and assume they are finished. However, app confirmations sometimes glitch or display reassuring messages without actually processing cancellation. Consequently, users are shocked weeks later when their card is charged again. Your safeguard: send a follow-up email to [email protected] requesting written confirmation that your subscription has been cancelled. This email forces Manifest to respond in writing and creates a legal record if billing continues.
Mistake 4: not monitoring your bank statement after cancellation
Users cancel successfully but then do not check their statements to verify that billing actually stopped. Months later they discover phantom charges and realise they should have monitored the first renewal cycle. Set a phone reminder for your renewal date plus 3 days, then check your bank statement. If no charge appears, you are clear. If a charge does appear, immediately dispute it with your bank.

If you encounter resistance to your cancellation, or if charges continue after you have cancelled, use these official channels to escalate your complaint. Manifest operates primarily through email and the support hub, with no confirmed Malaysia office address.
Primary contact methods
Email Manifest support at [email protected] with your account details, cancellation date, and clear description of your issue. Allow 5-7 business days for a response. The support hub at help.manifested.com provides FAQ articles and known issues, though it does not offer live chat. If you receive no response within 10 days, escalate to the Federal Trade Commission equivalent in Malaysia, the KPDNHEP Consumer Affairs Bureau.
Escalation if Manifest refuses to cancel
If Manifest does not respond to your cancellation request or refuses to cancel, lodge a formal complaint with the KPDNHEP (Kementerian Perdagangan Dalam Negeri dan Kos Sara Hidup). You can file a complaint online at kpdnhep.gov.my or in person at your nearest state KPDNHEP office. Include a copy of your cancellation email, Manifest's response (or lack thereof), and proof of your ongoing charges. KPDNHEP investigates within 30 days and can force Manifest to comply with cancellation law.
Alternatively, file a chargeback dispute directly with Apple, Google, or your bank. Provide your cancellation proof (screenshots, emails) and explain that the company continued billing after you cancelled. Most financial institutions reverse the charges within 10 business days.
Your address for formal notice to Manifest
No postal address for Manifest has been publicly confirmed in Malaysia. Your formal communication must proceed through email at [email protected] or through the support hub at help.manifested.com. If Manifest does not respond, escalate to KPDNHEP at the address shown on kpdnhep.gov.my. Do not send money or gift cards to verify your identity, as this is a common scam tactic. Legitimate companies never request such verification.
