If ShortsWave charged you after you thought you canceled,
• Make sure cancellation was done correctly;
– iPhone → Settings → Apple ID → Subscriptions → Cancel
– Android → Google Play → Payments & Subscriptions → Cancel
– You must cancel from the same account used for payment
– Deleting the app does NOT stop billing
• Check cancellation status;
• Verify:
– Subscription shows “Canceled” (not “Active”)
– You see an expiration date instead of renewal
– You received a confirmation email
– If no confirmation, it likely wasn’t canceled
• Fix possible mistakes;
– Try other Apple/Google accounts you use
– Check PayPal / bank recurring payments
– Some subscriptions are hidden under different emails
• Stop future charges immediately;
– Contact your bank
– Block recurring payments from ShortsWave
– Revoke merchant authorization
• Contact support;
• Write:
– “I canceled my subscription but I’m still being charged. Stop billing and confirm cancellation immediately.”
If they don’t fix it, file a complaint on Xolvie to push for resolution.
