On iPhone, in the Podcasts app, subscribe to, change, cancel, and share your podcast subscriptions. Paid subscriptions allow you to support the shows you love, and they often include premium extras, early access to new episodes, or ad-free listening.
You can subscribe to a show or a channel, and share Apple Podcasts subscriptions with others. You can also change or cancel your subscriptions later.
Here’s how to subscribe to a show or channel in Podcasts on iPhone.
Note: Not all subscriptions and channels are available in all countries, regions, or languages.
Subscribe to a show or channel
- Start the Podcasts app on your iPhone.
- Select the show or channel you want to subscribe to.
- Tap the subscription button (if available).
Subscribe to a show, and you automatically follow it, too. Shows you subscribe to or follow are also there on your other Apple devices or in the Apple Podcasts app. And if you follow one of a channel’s shows or subscribe to the channel, it shows up in the Channels section of your library.
Change or cancel your subscriptions
- Start the Podcasts app on your iPhone.
- Tap Home.
- Tap the My Account button or your profile picture and tap Manage Subscriptions.
- Tap a subscription to change or cancel it.
Share Apple Podcasts subscriptions
If you subscribe to podcast channels, you can share your subscriptions with up to five other family members through Family Sharing. Everyone in your family group automatically gets access to the channels you subscribe to.
When you join a family group where a member already subscribes to a show you subscribe to, your own subscription doesn’t renew at your next billing date, and you use the group’s subscription instead. And if the group you join doesn’t subscribe, it uses yours.
Note: You can stop sharing a show subscription with a family group by canceling the subscription or choosing to leave a Family Sharing group.
