How to Cancel McAfee Subscription 2025

Trying to figure out how to cancel McAfee subscription? You’ll do it either by turning off auto-renew in your McAfee account or by canceling the plan where you bought it (Apple or Google Play). Below are clear, tested paths for each case, plus McAfee’s refund windows and what happens after you cancel.

Before you cancel

• Know your billing source. If you purchased on mcafee.com, cancel in your My Account portal. If you subscribed through Apple or Google Play, cancel in that store. Uninstalling the app doesn’t cancel billing.

• Refund basics. McAfee states: full refund on request within 30 days of your initial purchase, or within 60 days after an automatic renewal (for 1-year or longer terms). Refunds are requested through Customer Support.

• Support is 24/7. You can reach McAfee Customer Support (chat/phone); U.S. phone: 1-866-622-3911.

How to cancel on McAfee.com (direct billing)

Use this if you pay McAfee directly on the website.

Step 1 — Sign in.Go to myaccount.mcafee.com and sign in. Open the Subscriptions tile.

Step 2 — Manage Renewal.Click Manage subscription (or Manage Renewals) for your plan.

Step 3 — Turn off auto-renew.Scroll to Cancel auto-renewal → click Cancel. When the offers page appears, scroll down and click Turn Off to confirm. Your account page will show the end date.

Note: McAfee has two similar help pages describing this flow; both confirm you must reach the Turn Off screen to finish. Save a screenshot of the confirmation. mcafee.com

How to cancel if you subscribed via Apple (iPhone/iPad/Mac)

If your McAfee plan was started through the App Store, manage it in Apple Subscriptions:

1. Open Settings on iPhone/iPad → tap your name → Subscriptions.

2. Tap McAfee → Cancel Subscription → confirm. (On Mac: App Store → Account Settings → Subscriptions.)

Apple also lets you request a refund for eligible App Store purchases from its billing page.

How to cancel if you subscribed via Google Play (Android)

If you bought McAfee through Google Play:

1. Open the Play Store → tap your profile → Payments & subscriptions → Subscriptions.

2. Select McAfee → Cancel subscription → follow prompts. (You can also do this on the web.)

Google Play refunds (when available) are handled by Google’s refund tools.

Alternative purchase paths (retailers)

If you bought a code from a retailer (e.g., Amazon/Best Buy), you’ll still manage auto-renew in your McAfee account after activation. Retail return policies vary; McAfee directs refund requests for McAfee-billed plans to its support team.

What happens after you cancel

• Access window. Turning off auto-renew stops future charges; protection usually continues until the current paid term ends (your account shows the exact date).

• Refund timing. For McAfee-billed plans: request within 30 days of first purchase or 60 days after an auto-renewal (annual+). For App Store/Google Play billing, check those stores’ refund policies.

Troubleshooting

I don’t see “Cancel auto-renewal.” Make sure you’re in the correct McAfee account (email) and viewing the right subscription. If the button still doesn’t appear, contact McAfee Support via chat/phone.

Charges continued after I removed the app. Uninstalling doesn’t cancel. Follow the My Account steps (McAfee-billed) or the Apple/Google Play steps above.

I need a refund. Request through McAfee Support (for McAfee-billed purchases) within the posted window; App Store/Google Play refunds use Apple/Google processes.

Phone support? Yes—U.S. 1-866-622-3911; global numbers and chat are listed on McAfee’s contact page (available 24/7).

Quick FAQ

Will I get a refund automatically after canceling? No. Canceling stops future renewals. Refunds must be requested and are time-limited (30 days initial / 60 days post-renewal for annual).

Can I cancel from the mobile app? If billed via Apple or Google Play, cancel in your device’s Subscriptions settings. McAfee-billed plans are canceled from the web account.
