- Review the final cancellation notice, which will show your subscription end date
- Tap "Yes, cancel subscription" to confirm
- You will see a green confirmation message: "You've cancelled your subscription to Quik"
- Google Play will send you a confirmation email to your registered Google Account email address
Your access to premium features continues until the end of your current billing cycle. After that date, you revert to the free Quik Basic tier automatically.
Cancellation through Apple or Google is final and takes effect within minutes of your confirmation, though your premium access continues until your next renewal date.
Your account status after cancellation
Once you cancel, the following changes occur:
- Your subscription no longer auto-renews at the end of your current billing cycle
- You can continue to access premium features for the remainder of the current billing period at no additional cost
- On the renewal date, your account automatically downgrades to the free Quik Basic tier
- Any videos you have created remain in your account and can be downloaded before your premium access ends
- Cloud storage for free-tier users is limited; if you have large video files stored in cloud storage, download them before the downgrade date
You do not lose your account, your videos, or your editing history. You simply lose access to premium features like advanced filters, unlimited cloud storage, and ad-free editing.
Reverting to the free Quik basic tier
After your cancellation takes effect, you can continue to use Quik without paying anything by staying on the Basic tier. The free tier includes core editing tools, but excludes premium filters, advanced transitions, and unlimited cloud storage. If you change your mind and decide to subscribe again within the next 12 months, GoPro may offer you a promotional discount or a free trial period.
How to request a refund if you were charged unfairly
If GoPro has already charged you and you believe the charge was unauthorised or violates your consumer rights, you can request a refund directly from Apple or Google Play, and escalate to the Department of Trade and Industry if necessary.
Requesting a refund from apple app store
- Open the Apple App Store app on your iPhone or iPad
- Tap your profile icon in the top right corner and select "Purchases"
- Scroll through your purchase history and find the Quik subscription charge
- Tap the Quik charge, then tap "Report a problem"
- Select "I would like a refund for this purchase" and provide your reason
- Apple will review your request and respond within 48 hours to your registered email address
- If Apple denies your refund, request escalation or contact Yafee for guidance on filing a complaint with the DTI
Apple processes refunds more quickly if you submit your request within 90 days of the charge date. However, you can still request a refund after 90 days if the charge was genuinely unauthorised or violates the Consumer Act.
Requesting a refund from google play
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device
- Tap your profile icon and select "Payments and subscriptions"
- Tap "Subscriptions" and find the Quik charge you want to refund
- Tap on the subscription and select "Report a problem" (or "Help and feedback")
- Explain that you want a refund and provide your reason (e.g., "Charged after cancellation" or "Unauthorised charge")
- Google will review your request and respond within 3-5 business days
If Apple or Google denies your refund request, you have the right to file a formal complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry. Yafee has helped thousands of consumers successfully recover refunds through the DTI-Mediate program by providing proof of their cancellation attempts and the refused refund requests.
Filing a complaint with the department of trade and industry (DTI)
If you have cancelled Quik and GoPro continues to charge you, or if Apple and Google have denied your refund request unfairly, you can file a free complaint with the DTI at dti.gov.ph or by visiting your nearest DTI regional office.
- Gather evidence: screenshots of your cancellation confirmation, the unwanted charges from your bank or digital wallet statement, and any correspondence with Apple, Google, or GoPro support
- Complete the DTI-Mediate complaint form online or in person
- Submit your complaint along with all evidence; include your full name, contact number, email address, and the amount of the disputed charge
- The DTI will investigate within 15-30 days and contact GoPro to resolve the dispute
- If mediation fails, you can request arbitration, which is binding on both parties
The DTI process is free and does not require a lawyer. Many consumers recover their full refund amount within 45 days through this program.
Common cancellation mistakes to avoid
Most cancellation problems stem from confusion about the process itself rather than intentional wrong-doing. Understanding these pitfalls ensures your cancellation proceeds smoothly the first time.
Mistake 1: trying to cancel within the Quik app itself
The Quik app does not contain a cancellation button or subscription management menu. Many Filipino users spend 10-15 minutes searching the app settings for a "Cancel subscription" option that does not exist. This delay can push you past your renewal date, resulting in an unwanted charge. Always cancel through Apple App Store or Google Play, never through the Quik app itself.
Mistake 2: uninstalling the Quik app instead of cancelling the subscription
Deleting the Quik app from your phone does nothing to stop your subscription. You will still be charged on your renewal date even if the app is no longer installed on your device. The app and the subscription are managed separately. Uninstall the app only after you have cancelled the subscription through Apple or Google Play.
Mistake 3: delaying cancellation until after the renewal date
If you wait until after your renewal date to cancel, you will still incur the full month's or year's charge. You must cancel before midnight on the day before your renewal date to prevent the charge. Set a phone reminder one week before your renewal date so you have time to complete the cancellation steps before the charge processes.
Mistake 4: not keeping proof of your cancellation
Apple and Google send confirmation emails immediately after you cancel. Save these emails in a folder you can access later. If GoPro charges you again after cancellation, you will need this email as evidence to request a refund or file a DTI complaint. Yafee advises all consumers to screenshot the cancellation confirmation screen as well, in case the email is accidentally deleted.
Mistake 5: assuming GoPro customer support can cancel your subscription
Quik customer support in the Philippines (email: [email protected], phone: +63 2 1234 5678, hours: Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM PHT) cannot process cancellation requests on your behalf. They can only explain the cancellation process. You must initiate cancellation directly through Apple or Google Play. If support claims they can cancel for you, they are misleading you, and you should contact Yafee or the DTI immediately.

How to decide: keep your Quik subscription or cancel
If you are still uncertain whether to cancel, use this comparison to align the cost with your actual usage and budget needs.
| Situation |
Recommendation |
Why |
| You create 2+ videos per week and export them regularly |
Keep subscription |
Premium features justify the 95 PHP monthly cost; cancel if usage drops |
| You create 1 video per month or less frequently |
Cancel and use free tier |
Free Quik Basic is sufficient for occasional users; 95 PHP/month = 1,140 PHP/year wasted |
| You have not opened Quik in 30+ days |
Cancel immediately |
No active usage; cancel today to avoid next renewal charge |
| You prefer CapCut or other free editors exclusively |
Cancel |
No reason to maintain Quik subscription if you no longer use the app |
| You are tight on household budget this month |
Cancel now, resubscribe later |
Quik is discretionary spending; you can always reactivate if needed |
| You are unsure if you will use premium features in the next 30 days |
Cancel and monitor |
Free tier lets you test without cost; resubscribe only if you use it regularly |
The safest approach is to cancel now if you have any doubt. You can always resubscribe later when you are confident you will use the premium features. GoPro often offers new-subscriber discounts or free trials, so you will not be penalised for cancelling temporarily.
Although Quik customer support cannot cancel your subscription directly, they can answer questions about your account, help you recover a forgotten password, or assist with technical issues. Use these contact methods if you need additional help with your account.

Formal written notice to GoPro (optional but recommended)
If you believe GoPro has charged you unfairly or has refused to honour your cancellation, you can send a formal written notice to GoPro's legal address for subscription disputes. Under the Quik subscription terms, the address for written notices is:
GoPro, Inc.
Legal Department
3000 Clearview Way
San Mateo, California 94402
USA
Send this letter via registered mail or courier. Include the following information in your letter: your full name, your Apple ID or Google Account email address, the date you subscribed to Quik, the date you requested cancellation, proof of the cancellation (screenshots or email confirmation), and a clear statement of your claim (e.g., "I cancelled my subscription on [date] but was charged again on [date]"). Keep a copy of this letter and the courier receipt for your DTI complaint if needed.
A formal written notice strengthens your position if you later file a DTI complaint, because it demonstrates you gave GoPro a fair opportunity to resolve the dispute before escalating to government intervention.
Final summary: your path to cancelling Quik
Cancelling your Quik subscription is a straightforward process once you understand that the cancellation must happen through Apple App Store or Google Play, not through the Quik app itself. In accordance with Philippine consumer law, you have the right to cancel at any time before your next renewal date, and you should receive confirmation from Apple or Google within minutes of requesting cancellation.
To summarise the essential steps: (1) check when your next renewal date is, (2) open your Apple or Google subscription settings before that date, (3) find Quik and tap "Cancel subscription", (4) confirm the cancellation and save the confirmation email, and (5) verify seven days after the renewal date that no charge has appeared on your account.
If you are charged after cancellation, request a refund from Apple or Google within 90 days. If they deny your refund, file a complaint with the Department of Trade and Industry using the contact information provided above.
