Here is an official way to view, update, or cancel YouTube Premium Subscription, formally called YouTube Red membership on iPhone, iPad, and Mac. YouTube Premium is an outstanding ad-free service offered by YouTube. Albeit, it’s a paid subscription service ($10-a-monthly plan). Therefore, it may not be convenient for all families. So here I publish this article for those subscribers who wish to update or cancel their YouTube Premium subscription before the 30-day free trial is completed.
There are many benefits of YouTube Premium, like,
- Ad-free videos

However, if the service seems out of your budget, please stop subscriptions through the following guide (unsubscribe from YouTube Premium).
We recommend that you don’t have to wait until completing the free YouTube Premium Membership. But if you don’t agree to continue with YouTube Premium in the future, then you must follow the given steps to turn off the Auto-renewal YouTube Premium membership on iPhone, iPad (iOS and iPadOS), or Mac computer.
