Spotify is one of the most popular and used platforms to play streaming music from any device. And it is that it has its web version, available from the browser itself, the desktop version or its mobile app for iOS and Android devices. At some point we may have created a Spotify account and we no longer want to use it, or after trying the service for free for a while, we have subscribed to its premium plan and now we no longer want to continue with that subscription . In any case, we are going to show the steps to follow to cancel an account on Spotify.
The truth is that there are many people who at some point have been able to create a Spotify account, since it is a platform that has great content on a musical level. It is difficult to search for a certain topic on Spotify and it does not exist.
Furthermore, the service offers attractive functions and features. It allows you to create your own playlists, share them with our friends, choose the quality with which we want to listen to our favorite music, choose whether we want our lists to be public or private, save songs so that we can listen to them offline, etc. In any case, if we no longer want to continue using the service , these are the steps to follow to cancel our Spotify account.
Steps to cancel a Spotify account
At the moment we are about to cancel a Spotify account, we must distinguish whether it is a Premium account or a free one. In the event that we have a current subscription, these are the steps to follow for its cancellation:
- We log in to our Spotify account page.
- In Your Plan , we click Change Plan .
- We scroll down to Spotify Free and click Cancel Premium .
- We continue everything until we get the confirmation message.
Once this is done, on our account page, we will see how the date on which our plan changes from Premium to Spotify Free is displayed. In the meantime, we will be able to continue using the payment functions until that date arrives . At that time, our account will become the conditions of a Free account, being able to log in, listen to music, access our playlist and everything we have saved. The only thing we will not be able to do is access the Spotify Premium functions.
If, on the other hand, we have a free account, that means that we will not have any plan to cancel and that our account will not have any payment information associated with it. Therefore, all we have to do is visit the following link and click on the Close account option .
Spotify will ask us if we are sure we want to close the account and will recommend us to read certain articles to try to solve any problem. If still what we want is to cancel the Spotify account, then we will have to click on the Close account button again. In the next step we will be shown the information of our account to confirm that we want to cancel the correct account.
Next, we will be shown a page in which we will be informed that when closing an account, all our podcasts, playlists, saved music, followers and our username will be lost. In order to proceed to the next step, we will have to check the box I understand and click Continue .
Spotify will indicate that to close the account we will have to go to our email associated with that account. There we will find a message that the platform will have sent us that will contain a link on which we must click to confirm the cancellation of our Spotify account. The link will expire in 24 hours , so if the time passes, we will have to request its closure again.
If for any reason this message has not reached our email account, we must check the spam or spam folder. If it’s not there either, then we’ll have to contact Spotify .
And if they charge me the fee after canceling the account
If we have successfully canceled our subscription, the date on which our plan will become Free will appear on our account page. If this is so then it means that we have successfully canceled our Spotify subscription. However, if the cancellation is made on a date close to the usual billing date, then it is possible that the next payment had already been collected . However, if we have any questions about it, we can always contact Spotify.
