Users may need to restore a subscription for several reasons, such as reinstalling the app, switching devices, or updating their Apple ID. If the app doesn't recognize an active subscription, premium features may be locked, or ads may reappear.
Restore Purchase tells the App Store to check your purchase history and reinstate any active subscriptions or purchases associated with your Apple ID. You will not be charged again when restoring a subscription.
Here is how to restore a subscription within the app:
- Open the app where you had the subscription.
- Go to the app’s Settings.
- Look for an option that says "Restore Purchase" or "Restore Subscription".
- Tap that option — it should prompt Apple to check your purchase history and reinstate the subscription if it's still valid.
Here is how to restore a subscription on iPhone:
- Open the Settings app.
- Tap your Apple ID (your name at the top).
- Tap Subscriptions.
- Look for the app in the list of Active or Expired subscriptions.
- If the subscription is active, you're good to go — try restoring it from within the app.
- If it's expired, you may need to resubscribe.
