How do I cancel an accidental Apple News subscription and get a refund?


The process of signing up for Apple News is very quick and one can easily sign up by mistake if one hits a wrong key. Once one hit the subscription key there is no follow up by Apple confirming o declining one's wishishes to subscribe. It is so easy to sign in that I have mistakenly done it several times .A customer then gets charged one month subscription regardless if one cancels inmediately. It is my opinion that Apple should have a system to confirm if a customer actually wants to sign up to Apple News.

Free trials can only used once. If you attempt to use another free trial, you will be charged immediately. Not sure what device you used for the Apple News subscription, but on an iPhone/iPad it would require your to double click the side button with the free trial and subscription start date showing on the screen, followed by verification with FaceID/Touch ID or Passcode. It is not something that can be done by accident on those devices.
