Frequently asked questions
Cancel Hayu: The Right Way to Avoid Billing Traps
How to cancel Hayu in singapore and protect yourself from hidden renewal charges
What is Hayu and why cancellation matters now
Hayu is a streaming service built entirely around reality television, delivering ad-free shows like Keeping Up with the Kardashians, The Real Housewives franchises, and Bling Empire directly to your phone, tablet, or web browser. The service operates on a rolling subscription model in Singapore, charging S$4.99 per month with new subscribers eligible for a 7-day free trial. Your subscription renews automatically each month unless you actively cancel before the next billing date. At Yafee, we understand that streaming services pile up quickly, and a single forgotten cancellation can trigger an unwanted charge within days. This guide walks you through every step, from locating the cancellation button to understanding your legal standing as a Singapore consumer and what happens after you press submit.
How hayu's billing cycle works in singapore
Hayu charges you on a fixed date each month, typically the same day you signed up or the same day your free trial ended. You can check your exact renewal date by logging into your account settings or reviewing your most recent invoice. If you cancel on the 15th but your renewal date is the 18th, you will not be charged again. If you cancel on the 20th and your renewal date was the 18th, you have already been charged for the upcoming month. Consequently, timing your cancellation to align with your renewal date ensures you avoid overlap charges.
Common reasons to cancel
You may want to cancel because you have watched all the content that interests you, your budget no longer stretches to include Hayu alongside other subscriptions, or the service quality falls short of your expectations. Some subscribers pause their membership during quiet months and restart when new seasons premiere. Others cancel permanently and rejoin only if a must-watch series returns. Yafee has observed that most cancellations occur either immediately after a free trial or when a user realises they watch content less than once per week. Understanding your viewing habits before you cancel helps you decide whether to walk away or pause instead.
Your consumer rights under singapore law
Singapore's consumer protection framework gives you clear rights when purchasing digital services like Hayu subscriptions.
Consumer protection (Fair trading) act and what it means for you
The Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act is the foundation of your legal position in any dispute with Hayu. This Act requires all service providers, including streaming platforms, to supply services with reasonable care and skill, to disclose terms clearly before you commit, and to refrain from misleading marketing. If Hayu fails to deliver the service as described, charges you without clear consent, or misrepresents renewal terms, you have statutory grounds to dispute the charge and potentially claim a refund. Hayu's own terms typically state that purchases are final and non-refundable, but this disclaimer cannot override Singapore law. Your legal position is strongest if you document the reason for cancellation, especially if it relates to service quality or misleading billing information. Yafee recommends taking screenshots of any billing surprises or service failures before you formally request cancellation, as this strengthens your case if escalation becomes necessary.
Escalation and dispute resolution with CASE
If Hayu declines a legitimate cancellation or refund request, you can lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE), which operates a free mediation and dispute resolution service. CASE can pressure businesses that ignore consumer law and often secures refunds or cancellations on behalf of consumers. Your first step is always direct contact with Hayu support. If Hayu does not respond within 14 days, refuses to cancel unreasonably, or disputes a charge you believe is incorrect, your second step is to contact CASE. Keep all email records, screenshots of charges, app notifications, and notes on every attempt you made to cancel. In accordance with best practice, Yafee advises storing these documents in a cloud folder or email account you can access even if you delete the Hayu app. This documentation becomes your evidence if CASE needs to mediate.
How to cancel Hayu by platform
Your cancellation method depends entirely on which platform you used to subscribe, because different platforms handle billing independently.
Cancel Hayu via the Hayu website
If you subscribed directly through Hayu's website using a credit card or debit card, you cancel through your Hayu account dashboard. This is the most straightforward route and takes approximately 3 minutes.
- Visit the Hayu website and log in with your email and password.
- If you forget your password, click "Forgot password?" and follow the email reset link.
- Navigate to your Account Settings or Profile menu, usually found in the top-right corner of the screen or within a hamburger menu.
- Look for a "Billing," "Subscriptions," or "Manage Subscription" option.
- Locate your active Hayu subscription and select "Cancel Subscription" or equivalent button.
- Hayu will display your cancellation effective date, showing when your access ends.
- Confirm your cancellation by clicking the final confirmation button.
- You should receive a confirmation email within 5 minutes to the address associated with your account.
Cancel Hayu on iOS through the app store
If you subscribed to Hayu via Apple's App Store on your iPhone or iPad, Apple manages your subscription billing, not Hayu. You must cancel through the App Store app itself, not through the Hayu app.
- Open the App Store app on your iPhone or iPad.
- Do not open the Hayu app itself.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- This is usually a circular icon with your initials or profile photo.
- Select "Subscriptions" from the dropdown menu.
- You will see a list of all active subscriptions tied to your Apple ID.
- Find Hayu in the list and tap on it.
- If you have many subscriptions, use the search function or scroll to locate Hayu.
- Tap "Cancel Subscription" and confirm by tapping again when prompted.
- Apple will display your cancellation date and confirm your access ends on that date.
- You will receive a confirmation email from Apple within minutes.
- Save this email as proof of cancellation.
Cancel Hayu on android via google play store
If you subscribed through Google Play Store on an Android phone or tablet, Google processes your billing. You cancel through the Google Play Store app or website, not through Hayu directly.
- Open the Google Play Store app on your Android device.
- Alternatively, visit play.google.com on any web browser.
- Tap your profile icon in the top-right corner.
- Select "Payments and subscriptions" or "Manage subscriptions."
- Tap "Subscriptions" to view all active subscriptions.
- You will see a complete list of services you subscribe to via Google Play.
- Tap "Hayu" from the list.
- Google will display your renewal date and the amount you are charged each billing cycle.
- Tap "Cancel subscription" and confirm when prompted.
- Google will ask why you are cancelling; you can choose a reason or skip this step.
- Google Play will send you a confirmation email.
- Your access ends on the date displayed on your subscription page.
Cancel Hayu on amazon prime video channels
If you added Hayu as a channel through your Amazon Prime Video subscription, you must cancel the channel through Amazon, not through Hayu or Prime Video directly.
- Visit amazon.com.sg (or amazon.com if you use the international site) and log in.
- Navigate to "Your Account" in the top-right corner.
- Select "Prime Video" and then "Subscriptions and add-ons."
- This section shows all channels you have added to your Prime Video account.
- Find Hayu in the list and click "Edit" or "Cancel channel."
- Amazon will ask you to confirm and may offer retention discounts.
- Click "Cancel subscription" to finalise the removal.
- Your access to Hayu ends on the date displayed.
Timeline and what happens after you cancel
Understanding your cancellation timeline prevents unexpected charges and ensures a clean break.
Your access period after cancellation
When you cancel Hayu, your access does not stop immediately. Instead, Hayu allows you to continue watching until the end of your current billing cycle. For example, if your renewal date is on the 30th and you cancel on the 10th, you retain full access to all content from the 10th until the 29th. On the 30th, your account automatically deactivates and you no longer can log in. You will not be charged again. Yafee recommends taking note of your final access date and downloading or finishing any series you want to watch before that deadline.
What to check after you cancel
After you submit your cancellation, monitor your email and bank account for the next 7 to 10 days. You should receive a confirmation email from either Hayu, Apple, Google, or Amazon (depending on your platform) within 5 minutes. If you do not receive this confirmation, your cancellation may not have processed. Log back into your account or app store and verify that your subscription is no longer listed as active. Check your bank or credit card statement approximately 30 days after your renewal date to ensure no charge appears. If an unexpected charge does appear after you cancelled, contact Hayu support immediately with your cancellation confirmation email and request a refund. Yafee has seen cases where cancellations appear to process but fail silently, so this verification step is essential.
Hayu pricing and subscription options in singapore
Understanding Hayu's pricing structure helps you decide whether cancellation or a pause is right for your budget.
| Subscription plan | Cost (SGD) | Billing interval | Free trial | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly subscription | S$4.99 | Every 30 days | 7 days (new users) | Flexible viewers with tight budgets |
| Annual subscription | S$49.90 (approx.) | Every 365 days | 7 days (new users) | Committed fans wanting better value |
| Promotional offers | Varies | Varies | Varies by region | Users subscribing during campaigns |
At current pricing, Hayu's monthly plan costs less than most competing streaming services in Singapore. Nevertheless, if you watch fewer than two episodes per month, you may find the cost unjustified. If you subscribe annually and wish to cancel within the first year, Hayu's refund policy typically does not permit refunds, but Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act may override this if you can demonstrate service failure or misleading billing.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation can feel straightforward, but a single overlooked step may result in a charge you did not expect.
Mistake one: cancelling the wrong way for your platform
The single most common error is cancelling through the Hayu app when you subscribed via Apple or Google. The Hayu app does not manage your billing if you came through an app store. Many users open the Hayu app, find a "Cancel" button, press it, and believe they have cancelled their subscription, only to be charged again 30 days later. This happens because the app-store subscription remains active in the background. Always verify which platform you subscribed through by checking your original confirmation email. That email will state whether Apple, Google, Amazon, or Hayu itself processed your payment. Cancel using that same platform, not the Hayu app. Yafee strongly recommends checking your email confirmation before you take any cancellation action.
Mistake two: cancelling after your renewal date
If your renewal date passes before you cancel, you will be charged for another month. For example, if your renewal is the 15th and you cancel on the 16th, the charge already went through on the 15th. You cannot reverse the charge by cancelling retroactively. Your only recourse is to contact Hayu support or your platform (Apple, Google, Amazon) and request a refund as a gesture of goodwill or under consumer protection grounds. To avoid this mistake, calculate your renewal date today and set a phone reminder for three days before that date. This gives you a buffer to cancel without accidentally crossing into the next billing cycle.
Mistake three: not saving your cancellation confirmation
If you cancel and delete the confirmation email or app notification, you have no proof of cancellation if a dispute arises. Hayu support may refuse to acknowledge your cancellation without evidence. Screenshot your cancellation confirmation and save it to your phone and email. If an unexpected charge appears on your bank statement after you cancelled, your confirmation becomes your legal protection. Yafee recommends creating a folder in your email labelled "Subscription Cancellations" and archiving every cancellation confirmation you receive. This practice protects you across all streaming services, not just Hayu.
Refunds and disputing incorrect charges
If Hayu charges you after you cancelled or charges you incorrectly, you have multiple options.
Requesting a refund directly from Hayu
Contact Hayu support via email or in-app message and explain that you cancelled before your renewal date or that you were charged in error. Provide your cancellation confirmation email or screenshot. Hayu's support team often grants one-off refunds as a courtesy, especially if you cancelled within the correct timeframe. Response times typically range from 24 to 72 hours. If Hayu refuses or does not respond, escalate to your payment method's issuer (your bank or credit card company).
Disputing the charge with your bank or card issuer
If Hayu declines your refund request or ignores your complaint, contact your bank or credit card company and file a chargeback or dispute. You will need your cancellation confirmation and a statement explaining why the charge was unauthorised or incorrectly processed. Your bank can reverse the charge within 30 to 60 days. In accordance with Singapore law, banks must take consumer disputes seriously and investigate thoroughly. This process does not harm you and often succeeds when direct requests to Hayu fail.
Escalating to CASE if Hayu refuses to cooperate
If a chargeback is unsuccessful or you prefer formal mediation, lodge a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE). CASE operates free mediation and has a strong track record of securing refunds for consumers in streaming service disputes. Provide CASE with your cancellation confirmation, screenshots of all communication with Hayu, your bank statement, and a detailed summary of what happened. CASE typically resolves complaints within 30 days and can pressure Hayu into providing a refund if evidence supports your claim. Yafee recommends CASE as the gold standard for escalation because CASE is a recognised authority with legal standing to act on your behalf.

| 2 | Check your renewal date by logging into your account or subscription settings | ☐ |
| 3 | Cancel using the correct platform (not the Hayu app if you subscribed via an app store) | ☐ |
| 4 | Screenshot or save the cancellation confirmation email to your device and email account | ☐ |
| 5 | Verify your subscription no longer appears in your account settings or app store subscriptions list | ☐ |
| 6 | Check your bank or credit card statement 30 days after your renewal date for any unexpected charge | ☐ |
Comparison: cancelling Hayu versus pausing or switching services
Before you cancel permanently, consider whether pausing or switching to another service might better suit your needs.
| Option | Cost (SGD) | Effort | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Cancel Hayu | Save S$4.99/month | 2 minutes | No longer interested in reality TV; save budget |
| Pause Hayu (if available) | S$0 during pause | 2 minutes | Temporary content drought; plan to return later |
| Switch to Netflix (Singapore) | S$6.98 to S$19.98/month | 5 minutes | Broader content library; prefer dramas, films, documentaries |
| Switch to Amazon Prime Video | S$2.99/month or S$35.40/year | 5 minutes | Reality content plus films, TV, shipping benefits |
| Keep Hayu active | S$4.99/month | 0 minutes | Regular viewing; budget accommodates cost |
Pausing a subscription is not always available; most streaming services offer this feature only after you have been subscribed for a minimum period (often 3 months) and then limit pause duration to 30 to 90 days. If Hayu does not offer a pause feature, your only options are cancel or keep the subscription active. At Yafee, we believe that cancelling a service you do not watch is the right financial decision, and resubscribing later (often with a new-user discount) is often cheaper than staying inactive for months.
