Amidst the ongoing cost-of-living challenges, many find themselves burdened by recurring direct debits impacting their finances, ranging from essential bills like electricity and groceries to entertainment subscriptions such as Netflix or Disney+.
Navigating through numerous transactions and charges each month, it’s easy to lose track of the funds leaving our accounts.
If you’ve ever questioned the reasons behind your high expenses, it’s prudent to examine your iPhone settings to ensure you’re not unknowingly subscribed to any services.
These ‘vampire bills’ represent those sneaky subscriptions quietly siphoning funds from your bank account, nibbling away at your earnings.
It’s possible that you signed up for a trial period on Amazon Prime and forgot to cancel, or unknowingly incurred costs within an Arcade game.
In today’s economy, even minor fees accumulate, prompting a closer look at your phone-related expenses. Especially with the holiday season approaching, reallocating funds towards gifts or social outings may seem more appealing.
For iPhone users, addressing ‘vampire bills’ is straightforward.
Access your subscriptions conveniently through the ‘Settings’ app.
Upon opening, tap on your name at the top of the screen, and below, locate the ‘Subscriptions’ tab. Here, you can review all active subscriptions, including payment details and upcoming charge dates.
If you find yourself overwhelmed by the number of subscriptions draining your finances, a prominent red button allows for immediate cancellation. In many cases, services can still be utilized until the subscription’s expiration date.
Of course, if you’re content with occasional additional charges for accessing your favorite Prime shows or indulging in a stress-relieving game, consider adjusting payment plans to lump-sum payments, sparing you from monthly fees.
