Step 1. Open a web browser, such as Google Chrome. You can directly head to YouTube Premium\u2019s official website (https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/paid_memberships<\/a>) and sign in. Or you can open the YouTube app and tap your profile picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 2. On the membership page, you\u2019ll see your current memberships listed. Tap on \u201cYouTube Premium.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Step 3. Then, you need to look for an option that says \u201cManage membership.\u201d Here, you\u2019ll spot the choice to \u201cDeactivate\u201d or \u201cCancel.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
