How to Cancel ReelShort VIP on iPhone & Android

To cancel ReelShort VIP, cancel it wherever you paid for it. If you subscribed on an iPhone, that's your Apple subscriptions in Settings. If you subscribed on Android, it's the Subscriptions page in Google Play. Deleting the app doesn't stop the charges, and neither does just closing it after that last cliffhanger.

We built this guide from 300 recent App Store and Google Play reviews, the ReelShort store listings and ReelShort's own Terms of Use. The official Apple and Google steps below come straight from their help pages, so you can follow them as written.

The short version: the App Store listing says VIP is billed weekly and renews automatically, so the clock is always ticking. If you're done with the CEO dramas for now, cancel at least a day before your next renewal. If you're still deciding whether the app is worth it at all, our ReelShort review covers what you actually get.

How to cancel ReelShort VIP on iPhone

1. Open Settings and tap your name at the top.
2. Tap Subscriptions.
3. Tap the ReelShort subscription.
4. Tap Cancel Subscription. You might need to scroll down to find it.

No Cancel button, or an expiration message in red? Apple says that means the subscription is already canceled.

According to the App Store listing, ReelShort VIP is valid for 7 days, is billed weekly and renews automatically. The listing also says you'll be charged within 24 hours before each new period starts, and that you should cancel at least 24 hours before the next renewal date. In plain terms, don't wait for renewal day: give yourself more than a full day of buffer.

The listing adds that a new subscription can take up to 24 hours to kick in, depending on your order status with Apple. Once you cancel, the subscription should show an end date instead of a renewal date in your Apple subscriptions list. If you still see a renewal date, the cancel didn't go through.

How to cancel ReelShort VIP on Android

1. Open Subscriptions in the Google Play app (profile picture → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions).
2. Select the ReelShort subscription.
3. Tap Cancel subscription.
4. Follow the instructions on screen.

Google says uninstalling the app doesn't cancel the subscription.

After you cancel, you can keep using the subscription for the time you've already paid for.

The Google Play listing doesn't spell out how long a ReelShort subscription lasts or how often it bills. It only shows a price range of $0.09 - $199.99 per item for in-app purchases. Check the Subscriptions page in Google Play to see the exact plan, price and next billing date tied to your account.

Google notes that uninstalling the app does not cancel your subscription, and that you keep access until the end of the period you've already paid for. So cancel first, then delete the app if you want to.

If you subscribed on the website (card or PayPal)

ReelShort's Terms of Use say you can cancel at any time: log in to your account in the app, go to the VIP page and follow the Subscription Management instructions there. Cancel on or before the day before your billing date, and you keep access for the period you've already paid for.

If you paid through Apple or Google, the store steps above are still the surest way to stop the charges, because that's where the billing actually lives.

How much does ReelShort VIP cost?

The App Store shows one subscription price, $19.99, and the listing text says the subscription is billed weekly. Coin packs on the App Store run from $4.99 to $29.99. Apple only displays the most popular in-app purchases, so there may be other plans that don't appear in that list. On Google Play, items range from $0.09 to $199.99, with no plan names shown.

The weekly billing is the part to watch. A VIP pass that renews every 7 days adds up fast, and 10% of the reviews we analyzed say coins or VIP are too expensive, with weekly plans called out most. If you mostly want to sample a few minis, our list of free short drama apps and our guide to free coins on ReelShort and DramaBox are cheaper places to start.

Can you get a refund from ReelShort?

If you paid through your iPhone or Android phone, the refund request usually goes through Apple or Google, not ReelShort. Here's what ReelShort's own terms say, followed by the official store steps.

ReelShort's Terms of Use call subscription payments final and non-refundable, except where the terms say otherwise. If you think you were charged by mistake, the terms ask you to email support as soon as possible.

Why do people keep getting charged after canceling ReelShort?

Surprise charges are a real pattern here. In the 300 reviews we analyzed, 12% mention unexpected charges or auto-renew they didn't expect, and 10% say it was hard to cancel or get a refund. Several users report weekly charges continuing after they thought they'd canceled, and some say they never authorized the payments at all.

A lot of this comes down to where people try to cancel. Users say canceling inside the app is hard or impossible, and that support didn't answer their emails. That lines up with how store billing works. If you paid through Apple or Google, the subscription lives in your store account, so the store steps are the ones that actually stop it. Deleting the app does nothing for your billing.

Timing is the other trap. The App Store listing says the charge can land within 24 hours before a new weekly period, so canceling on renewal day can still mean one more payment. Give yourself at least a full day of buffer, then check that your subscription shows an end date.

The frustration isn't only about billing, either. 22% of reviews complain the paywall shows up too early, which is how many people end up on a weekly plan in the first place, usually mid-binge on a revenge arc they just have to finish.
