If you're wondering how to delete expired subscriptions on your iPhone, I have some bad news: you can't remove expired subscriptions from the Subscriptions list in Settings. But that doesn't mean you'll be stuck with them forever.

Unfortunately, there's no way to manually delete expired subscriptions on your iPhone. While there is no way to remove expired subscriptions, they will automatically disappear a year after they were canceled. To learn more about using subscriptions on your iPhone, check out our Tip of the Day newsletter. Now, here's how to view your recently expired subscriptions:

Open the Settings app.
Tap on your Apple ID profile at the top.
Tap Subscriptions.
Scroll down to view the Expired section with your old subscriptions listed beneath.

A year may seem like a long time to wait before removing your expired subscriptions from the list. If you want to let Apple know that you'd like a way to remove expired subscriptions from your iPhone, consider sending Apple feedback in the form of a feature request.
