Users who subscribed directly on LinkedIn can cancel through the desktop site, while Apple subscribers must cancel in iPhone settings.
Premium access continues until the current billing cycle ends, and the account then returns to the free version.
Free trial users should cancel before the trial ends to avoid a first charge.
Many users want to cancel LinkedIn Premium subscription plans when the features no longer match the cost. The process takes only a few minutes, but the right steps depend on where the plan was bought. This guide covers the desktop method, the iPhone route and what happens after cancellation. Plans and prices can change, so check LinkedIn’s Help Center for the latest terms.
First, users should know where the plan was bought. A plan bought directly on LinkedIn can be canceled in LinkedIn’s settings. A plan bought through Apple must be canceled in the iPhone’s subscription settings, according to Business Insider. LinkedIn offers four Premium plans, so it also helps to note which one is active.

The desktop website is the easiest route. Guide lists the steps: click the Me tab, select Premium features, choose Manage subscription and pick Cancel subscription. LinkedIn then asks the user to click Continue to cancel, choose a reason and confirm. SlashGear notes that the site shows several confirmation pages “before it’ll let you go,” so users should continue until the final Done screen.

The mobile app may not show a direct cancel option. HireQuotient suggests opening LinkedIn in a mobile browser and following the desktop steps. Apple users have a different path. They can open the subscriptions section in iPhone Settings, tap LinkedIn, tap Cancel Subscription and confirm. Android users can open the Premium section in the app and tap Manage subscription, based on Typefully’s guide.

Canceling does not end Premium right away. Access runs until the current billing cycle closes. For example, a user who subscribes on the 15th and cancels on the 20th keeps Premium until the 15th of the next month. After that, the account returns to the free version. LinkedIn also emails the final access date, so users should save that message. Mesh notes that LinkedIn may offer another free trial to win users back.
Trial users should cancel before the trial ends to avoid a first charge. SlashGear says Manage subscription leads to the Admin Center Purchases page, where users see Cancel free trial or Cancel subscription. Another route is the For Business menu, then Manage billing, then Purchases. Recruiter Lite users can select that plan there and choose the cancel option under Actions.
It is simple to cancel LinkedIn Premium subscription plans once users know where they signed up. Direct subscribers can use the desktop site, while Apple subscribers must cancel through iPhone settings. Premium access continues until the billing cycle ends, and the account then returns to free. Save the confirmation email, cancel trials early and check the Help Center if any step looks different.
