Canceling Philo is straightforward once you know where you started the subscription. If you joined on philo.com, you’ll cancel on the website. If you subscribed via Roku, Apple, Google Play, Amazon Appstore, Samsung, or Vizio, you must turn off auto-renew in that platform. Philo’s help center lists every path and notes you keep watching until the end of your current billing cycle. (help.philo.com)

Before You Cancel
Cancel in the same place you subscribed. Managing it in the wrong place won’t work (e.g., Apple-billed plans must be canceled in Apple Subscriptions). (help.philo.com)
Free trial rule. If you don’t cancel before the trial ends, your account converts to a paid plan and charges begin. (Philo)
Refunds. Philo’s Terms say cancellations take effect on the next billing date and no refunds or credits are issued for partial periods (local consumer-law rights may apply). (Philo)
Card lock ≠ cancel. Philo explicitly warns that locking your card won’t stop subscription charges. You must cancel. (help.philo.com)
