X Premium-specific things to know

X Premium subscriptions can work differently depending on your plan or how you signed up. These tips cover common edge cases.

Premium features stay active until billing ends
After cancelling, you'll keep your Premium features like edit buttons and longer posts until your current billing period expires.
Verification badge may be removed
Your blue verification checkmark will be removed after your subscription ends, though this may take a few days to process.
Different tiers have different features
X Premium+ users have additional features like longer video uploads that regular Premium users don't get.

Before cancelling X Premium

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

1. Check who's billing you

If you subscribed through the iPhone app, you'll need to cancel through Apple. Android app subscribers cancel through Google Play Store.

2. Access continues until period ends

You won't lose Premium features immediately. They'll remain active until your current billing cycle completes.

3. Deleting the app doesn't cancel

Removing the X app from your phone doesn't cancel your Premium subscription. You need to actively cancel through the proper channel.

Other options to consider

If cost is the issue, you might be able to downgrade to basic Premium instead of cancelling completely.

Downgrade your X Premium plan

X offers different Premium tiers with varying features and pricing. You might find a cheaper option that still meets your needs.

  • X Premium Basic - Lower cost, fewer features

  • X Premium+ - Higher cost, more features

Switch Your Billing Cycle

X Premium offers both monthly and annual billing options.

Annual subscribers typically save about 12% compared to monthly billing

Alternative ways to cancel X Premium

If you can't cancel through your X account, you may need to go through App Store or Google Play. The right option depends on how you're being billed.

Apple App Store

iOS users who subscribed through the X app need to cancel through their iPhone's subscription settings.
