And you can stop them from draining your bank account in seconds.

What is an iPhone app subscription?

But some apps work on a subscription basis, which means you fork out monthly or yearly to use them.
These subscriptions will automatically renew, meaning you’ll keep paying until you choose to end them.
It means app makers can be paid for maintaining a service – but it can end up costing a small fortune.
So you’ll want to make sure you’re not subscribed to apps that you hardly use.
