How to cancel your Quibi subscription

When Quibi was first unveiled, everyone had high expectations for the video platform. The goal was to launch content with episodes that were only several minutes long for easy consumption, starring familiar faces like LeBron James and Sophie Turner. The library would include everything from documentaries to fictional shows to comedy skits, and in the age of TikTok and commuting, it seemed like a plausible idea.

As it turns out, Quibi hasn’t been particularly successful at holding long-term interest. Current estimates put the app at getting 2 million paying customers by the end of 2020, which is around 30% of its first-year target. Quibi founder Jeffrey Katzenberg even went so far as to blame coronavirus, though the other shortcomings — notably lackluster programming and poor marketing — have likely been a factor.

Step 6: Finally, select Cancel Subscription at the bottom and confirm your cancellation.

How to cancel Quibi via iOS

If you prefer to cancel Quibi without launching the app, you have other options. If you’re on an iPhone, just head to the Settings menu and tap your name at the top of the resulting page.

Next, select the Subscriptions option and peruse your current subscriptions through Apple. If you don’t see Subscriptions, then you aren’t signed in, so select iTunes and Apple Store instead, and sign in using your Apple ID information. Afterward, select Quibi, followed by Cancel Subscription. Confirm the cancellation, enter your Apple ID password once more if necessary, and you’re done.

How to cancel Quibi via the Google Play Store

If you’re on Android, you can also cancel Quibi through the Google Play Store. First, make sure you are signed in to the correct Google Account (i.e., whichever account you use for your phone and Quibi).

Next, open up the Google Play Store, tap the icon with the three lines, and go to Subscriptions. Select the Quibi app, tap Cancel subscription, and verify your decision to remove your subscription.

Where to watch How the Grinch Stole Christmas (all versions)
The Grinch in the process of stealing Christmas.

"You're a mean one, Mr. Grinch. You really are a heel. You're as cuddly as a cactus, you're as charming as an eel, Mr. Grinch."

For Dr. Seuss fans of all ages, Albert Hague's incredibly catchy song from the original TV special, How the Grinch Stole Christmas (as performed by Thurl Ravenscroft) perfectly summed up the nefarious malcontent who was so disgusted by Christmas revelry that he decided to make everyone else miserable as he was by taking away their presents and pageantry.
