One of the apps that have been trending on the social media scene is Reface, an app that’s behind most of the funny face videos that people have been sharing lately. Released in 2020, Reface allows users to create realistic videos with their faces applied as a mask over characters from popular movies and TV shows. The process is so smooth, others wouldn’t be able to make out what might be out of place unless your face is significantly recognizable or they know what the original scene looks like.
The app is free-to-use on both iOS and Android but is ad-supported. You can remove these ads, unlock additional content, and upload your video directly by subscribing to the app’s Pro plans available anywhere between $2.49 and $49.99 based on the duration of the subscription.
If you’re someone who subscribed to any of these plans before but now wants to cancel it on your device, the following post should help you prevent the service from charging you recurring fees in the future.
How to cancel Reface subscription

In the overflow menu that appears, select Payments and subscriptions.
On the next screen, select Subscriptions.

What happens when you cancel a Reface subscription?
If you cancel your Reface subscription on either the App Store or Play Store from the above guide, Reface will be removed from your subscribed apps and services list in the respective store. When you do that, Reface won’t charge you for a future subscription at a later date and you can continue using the free tier of Reface on your iPhone or Android device without any issue.
In some cases, you may also be eligible to get a refund from the respective store. According to Reface’s Subscription policy, you can request a refund if it hasn’t been 48 hours since you made a purchase towards the service on either the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. However, users who subscribed to the app’s annual plans with a 3-day trial period won’t be eligible for a refund.
When should you cancel Reface app?
Reface isn’t a paid app on iOS or Android and is, instead, available for free on the App Store and Google Play Store. You’ll only need to cancel Reface on your phone if you’re actually paying for any of its Pro plans on either of these platforms.
If you’re unsure whether you’re subscribed to the app’s paid plans, you can check it on either stores’ websites by following these instructions.
On iOS: Sign in to reportaproblem.apple.com with your Apple ID and select Request a refund under the “What can we help you with?” section. After selecting, you should see the list of apps you’re subscribed to or purchased through Apple ID. Here, check if Reface is listed as one of the apps you’ve been charged for. If yes, then you can cancel the Reface app on your iPhone.
On Android: Checking whether an app/service charges you on your Android device is easier. All you have to do is go to the Google payments center on a web browser and check if Reface is listed inside the Subscriptions and Services tab. If yes, then you’ll need to cancel Reface and apply for a refund.
I was charged from Reface even after cancellation. What should I do?
If you cancelled your subscription but you were still charged the subscription fee, then it may be happening for any of the following reasons:
- You canceled on the day of the billing date, in which case, you may incur the subscription fees and also get to use the service until the next billing date.
- It has been more than 48 hours since you paid for a Reface subscription, in which case, you won’t get a refund for your purchase on App Store or Play Store.
- You won’t get refunds for Reface’s annual subscriptions that come with a 3-day trial period.
If the App Store or Google Play Store still charged your subscription amount after you canceled Reface your iPhone or Android device, you will have to report this transaction and ask the respective store for a refund manually.
