How to cancel your iQIYI subscription in singapore without losing money or access
Why cancel iQIYI and what you need to know first
iQIYI is a major Asian streaming platform offering drama series, variety shows, films and exclusive original content. However, if you no longer watch regularly, prefer another service or want to reduce monthly spending, you have the right to cancel cleanly. At Yafee, we guide thousands of Singapore consumers through subscription terminations-and we'll walk you through every step.
The key to a smooth cancellation lies in understanding where you signed up. Whether you subscribed via the iQIYI website directly, Apple's App Store, Google Play, or a carrier bundle, your cancellation method will differ. You must cancel through the same platform where your payment method is registered. Attempting to cancel in the wrong place often leaves your subscription active and charges continuing.
When cancellation makes practical sense
You might cancel if you've finished watching your favourite series, switched to a competitor streaming service, or simply want to cut discretionary spending. Unlike some subscription models, iQIYI does not penalise you for mid-cycle cancellation-you retain access until your current billing period concludes. This means you are not losing prepaid value by cancelling early.
What happens if you do not cancel on time
If you do not actively cancel before your renewal date, iQIYI will automatically charge you for the next billing cycle. Many subscribers miss renewal dates and incur unwanted charges. To avoid this, set a personal reminder at least one week before your billing date and complete cancellation well in advance. Yafee recommends documenting your cancellation confirmation immediately-this becomes critical if a dispute arises.

If you commit to an annual plan, you receive better value per month but sacrifice flexibility. Monthly plans allow you to cancel without penalty before the next renewal. Yafee suggests starting with a monthly tier if you are uncertain about long-term commitment, then upgrading only if you confirm regular usage.
Your consumer rights when cancelling under singapore law
Singapore's Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act establishes your legal standing when cancelling subscription services, regardless of the platform.
Your legal position
Under the Consumer Protection (Fair Trading) Act (Cap. 52A), you have the statutory right to cancel a subscription service before your next renewal without incurring penalty or further charges. Any billing that occurs after you cancel is unlawful. If iQIYI continues charging you post-cancellation, you can lodge a formal complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE) or escalate to the Ministry of Trade and Industry (MTI). Both bodies enforce consumer rights and can compel refunds or pursue penalties against the service provider.
Documentation you must retain
Preserve every cancellation confirmation email, screenshot of your subscription settings, and bank or credit card statement showing charges. If a dispute arises, this evidence proves you cancelled and demonstrates any unauthorised post-cancellation charges. Without documentation, proving your case becomes significantly harder. Yafee advises taking screenshots immediately after cancelling-do not rely on emails alone, as mailbox archives can be lost.

How to cancel iQIYI if it is bundled with your mobile or internet plan
If you received iQIYI as part of a carrier package from providers such as Singtel, Starhub or M1, you must cancel through your telco account, not the iQIYI platform.
Step one: contact your carrier directly
- Call or visit the online account portal of your mobile or broadband provider.
- Singtel: 1627 (call) or singtel.com/myaccount
- StarHub: 6825-6825 (call) or starhub.com/myaccount
- M1: 1627 (call) or m1.com.sg/myaccount
Step two: request removal of iQIYI add-on
- Inform your provider you wish to remove iQIYI from your bundle.
- They will process the cancellation and update your next billing cycle.
- Your base plan charges remain unchanged.
Step three: confirm the change
- Request a written confirmation email or SMS confirming the iQIYI removal date.
- Verify on your next bill that iQIYI charges no longer appear.
What happens after you cancel and when you lose access
Cancellation takes effect immediately or at the end of your current billing cycle, depending on your subscription type and when you cancel.
Your access timeline post-cancellation
If you cancel before your next renewal date, you typically retain access to iQIYI until your current paid period expires. For example, if your billing date is the 15th of each month and you cancel on the 10th, you remain a paying subscriber until the 14th at 11:59pm. After that point, your account reverts to the free tier (if available) or access terminates entirely. Yafee recommends logging in one day before your access ends to confirm the transition.
Downloaded content and viewing history
Any episodes you downloaded for offline viewing may be removed once your subscription ends, depending on iQIYI's licensing terms. Your viewing history and watchlist remain visible if you retain access to the free tier, but your saved preferences may not carry over. Do not rely on saved lists surviving cancellation-export or screenshot any content recommendations you want to remember.
Refund eligibility and how to request a refund
Refunds depend on when you cancel relative to your billing date and the platform through which you subscribed.

- Provide your account details, cancellation proof and the unauthorised charge.

- If iQIYI does not respond within 7 working days, escalate to your payment platform.
- For Apple: report the charge via Apple's official support site.
- For Google Play: dispute the charge in your Google Play purchase history.
- For credit cards: contact your bank and request a chargeback.
- If the payment platform denies your refund, file a complaint with the Consumers Association of Singapore (CASE).
- CASE will investigate and may compel iQIYI to refund you plus penalties.
Common mistakes to avoid when cancelling
Cancellation is straightforward once you know the pitfalls-and most mistakes are easily preventable with care and attention.
Mistake one: cancelling in the wrong place
The most frequent error is attempting to cancel directly within the iQIYI app if you subscribed via App Store or Google Play. Deleting the app does not cancel your subscription-you must cancel through your Apple ID or Google account. Yafee has guided many consumers who discovered, weeks later, that charges continued because they cancelled in the wrong location. Always cancel where you signed up.
Mistake two: failing to save confirmation proof
Screenshots and emails are your only evidence of cancellation. If you do not save them and a billing dispute arises, proving you cancelled becomes your word against the company's records. Take screenshots of your cancellation confirmation screen immediately and forward the confirmation email to yourself as backup. Store these in a cloud folder or email archive.
Mistake three: not checking your next bill
Always verify that iQIYI charges do not appear on your next billing statement. If they do, contact iQIYI or your payment platform within 3 days and reference your cancellation proof. Waiting months to dispute creates complications and reduces your refund chances under consumer law.
Mistake four: cancelling a carrier bundle incompletely
If iQIYI is bundled with your mobile or internet plan, cancelling only via the iQIYI app does not remove the carrier add-on. You must contact your telco provider directly. Otherwise, you continue paying the bundle price. Always confirm with your carrier that the add-on has been removed before your next billing cycle.
