Subscription Purchased Through App Store: If you obtained your subscription through an app store (e.g., Apple App Store, Amazon Appstore, Google Play), you will need to cancel it directly through that app store’s platform.

• Post-Cancellation Access: Once your subscription is cancelled, you will continue to have access to The Washington Post’s digital content for the remainder of the current billing cycle. Afterward, your access will be limited to a certain number of free articles per month.

• Subscription Renewal: Cancellation will ensure your subscription does not automatically renew at the end of the current billing period.

Remember, for combination print/digital subscriptions, contacting customer service directly ensures a smooth cancellation process.
