Signal Premium-specific things to know

Signal's donation system works differently than typical subscriptions. These tips cover common edge cases.

Premium features stay until period ends
After cancelling, you keep Premium features like custom colors and extra emoji until your current billing period expires.
Donations show as Signal Messenger
On your bank or credit card statement, Signal Premium donations typically appear as 'Signal Messenger' or similar.
One-time donations don't auto-renew
If you made a one-time donation instead of monthly, there's nothing to cancel — it won't automatically charge again.

Before cancelling

These details can affect your cancellation timing or whether it goes through properly.

1. Check your payment method

Signal Premium donations can be processed through the app store, PayPal, or credit card. Make sure you're cancelling through the right method.

2. Features expire at period end

Unlike some subscriptions, your Premium features will stop working when your current billing period ends, not immediately after cancelling.

3. No partial refunds available

Signal doesn't offer refunds for Premium donations, even if you cancel partway through a billing period.

Consider these alternatives

If cost is the main issue, you might consider reducing your donation amount instead of cancelling completely.

Lower your donation amount

Signal allows you to adjust your monthly donation amount if you want to keep supporting the platform but spend less.

You can change your monthly donation to any amount you choose, starting from $5/month for Premium features.

Other cancellation methods

If you can't cancel through your Signal account, you may need to cancel through your app store or payment provider instead.

Apple App Store

Cancel through the App Store if you originally set up Signal Premium through your iPhone or iPad.
